Deploying a netcoreapp1.1 to Azure - azure

Question

I have netcoreapp1.1 that I am trying to publish to Azure with WebDeploy. I am able to do dotnet publish and deploy the contents to Azure, but the site just says "You do not have permission to view this directory or page.", which suggests the app is not running.
My previous apps have used net461 as target framework and I have noticed that publishing these (with dotnet publish) have caused a web.config file to be created, which explains how IIS is able to run it, but this does not happen when the target framework is netcoreapp1.1.
The command I have been using to publish is this:
dotnet publish --configuration Release --runtime win7-x64 --output .deploy
Here is my project file:
<Project Sdk="FSharp.NET.Sdk;Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>netcoreapp1.1</TargetFramework>
<RuntimeIdentifiers>win7-x64</RuntimeIdentifiers>
<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
</PropertyGroup>
<PropertyGroup>
</PropertyGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<Compile Include="Controllers/*.fs" />
<Compile Include="Startup.fs" />
<Compile Include="Program.fs" />
<None Remove="**/*.fs" />
</ItemGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<PackageReference Include="FSharp.Core" Version="4.1.*" />
<PackageReference Include="FSharp.NET.Sdk" Version="1.0.*" PrivateAssets="All" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore" Version="1.1.1" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc" Version="1.1.2" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.StaticFiles" Version="1.1.1" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Debug" Version="1.1.1" />
</ItemGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<DotNetCliToolReference Include="Microsoft.DotNet.Watcher.Tools" Version="1.0.0" />
</ItemGroup>
</Project>
How am I meant to run a netcoreapp1.1 on Azure? Does it have to be self contained or is it possible to have the Azure App Service run it from dlls?
Edit:
Manually copying a web.config into my publish directory I am able to get the app to run. How can I make dotnet publish create it automatically?
Also, I am still curious about my previous questions.

Answer 1

Add info into you csproj file that you need to copy web.config, like this:
<ItemGroup>
<Content Update="web.config">
<CopyToPublishDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToPublishDirectory>
</Content>
</ItemGroup>
