Azure Web App for containers CI with Azure Container Registry - azure

I'm having an issue with Azure Container Registry CI with my Azure Web App for Containers. It seems that the web hook between them has broken.
I've tried turning the CI within the Docker settings on the Web App however this fails and also tried creating a web hook from the Azure Container Registry however it says my container registry isn't managed but doesn't give me the option to upgrade it to one.

Webhooks are not available in the classic SKU and you need to migrate for this. For CI you need to enable a webhook with the publishing creds which can call into the App service scm endpoint which can restart and repull.

Azure app service not pulling latest image from docker registry

I have a pipeline that publishes to my private Azure container registry but if I push a new image tagged with latest, my Azure app service does not pull the newly tagged latest image. I have Continuous deployment turned on via the DOCKER_ENABLE_CI app setting.
Additionally, I'm using a managed identity to authenticate with the ACR. I feel like the CD portion was working when I was using credentials to pull the image but after switching to managed identity it appears to have stopped. In order to get the new image I have to restart the app service which is not idea and makes this CD option useless...
When you enable Continuous deployment, App Service adds a webhook to your ACR to notify the web apps. The webhook causes your App Service app to restart and run the docker pull to get the updated image.
So, please go to your ACR, and under webhook, please check if there are running webhooks or not, if not you can create a webhook manually and see if the WebApp get the latest image in the following deployment.

How to Deploy a React App(code present on github) to Azure WebApp using jenkins and TerraForm

I basically want to deploy(CICD) a React App(simple create-react-app) present in GitHub to Azure Webapp using Jenkins and TerraForm. I am in search of step by step process to do this.
I can't use the Azure DevOps platform since it is restricted in the organization I work.
Here is a tutorial for Deploy to Azure App Service with Jenkins and the Azure CLI might help.
But considering your React App already present in GitHub, there is a easier choice to deploy, which is using Git Action.
Create an App Service on portal.
Navigate to Deployment Center, better to use the Preview version.
Configure the CI/CD:
Go to your GitHub and see the Action logs, which is more clear than portal:

Web App for Containers - Kudu omitting Docker Login

We use Web App for Containers to operate Docker containers hosted on our Azure registry. This web app has been configured to pull the latest changes from the registry which in turns has lead to the creation of the following env variables:
DOCKER_REGISTRY_SERVER_URL
DOCKER_REGISTRY_SERVER_USERNAME
DOCKER_REGISTRY_SERVER_PASSWORD
DOCKER_ENABLE_CI
All values are correct and in the first place the Docker based setup worked well for us. Since monday, however, Kudu is longer able to pull docker images from our registry (neither from any registry that requires auth at all). The Kudu log is:
docker pull returned STDERR>> Error response from daemon: Get OUR_REGISTRY: unauthorized: authentication required
which suggests that Kudu is omitting the required Docker login call. Has anyone observed the same behaviour or is aware of Azure changes that require any adoption form our site. Thanks!
What we have tried so far:
creating a new registry
creating a new web app
creating a new service plan
restarting/stopping the web apps

Azure app service - docker container - take latest build after CI/CD

Through VSTS we have created CI/CD pipeline for a project, in which the end product is a docker image, which will be placed in a azure container registry.
In the azure app service, we have a linux container based service plan, which hosts the above placed latest image.
However, in the docker container, although we have enabled continuous deployment, the latest version is not taken, it is hosting the same older version of image.
How to deploy the latest docker image in app service container ?
Azure Container Registry webhooks can be used to automatically update your application running on Azure App Services that run your container applications.
Setup your image to deploy to your Azure Web App on Linux as per the instruction at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service-web/app-service-linux-using-custom-docker-image#how-to-use-a-docker-image-from-a-private-image-registry
In the App Settings section of your Web Application, add an app setting called DOCKER_ENABLE_CI with the value true.
Create a web hook in your registry and provide the docker callback uri which is of the form https://:#.scm.azurewebsites.net/docker/hook
https://:#.scm.azurewebsites.net/docker/hook

How to deploy an angular2 application as a webapp in azure

Can someone help me deploy an angular2 application as a webapp in azure. I have a github enterprise setup. On my Jenkins server, I would like to do a no build. On successful completion of the build, I'd like to push it to a webapp.
Every deployment I attempted, failed on npm of one form or other. I don't want to create a VM and deploy a server.
I'd appreciate any help on this.
Deployment of all supported web applications to azure web app service ( PaaS and not IaaS VM as per your requirement) is possible by the following options
from git CLI you can publish the code from your local repository to azure.
linking an online repository like bitbucket, gitlabs to azure
Powershell - publish code from your local repository to azure
Azure CLI - publish code from your local repository to azure
FTP option is available as well.
Check out this post to see how you can publish using git commandline https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service-web/app-service-deploy-local-git
