Which versions of node.js are available on Azure Web Sites?

Question

I already know how to change the version of Node.js running on an Azure website , but how do I see what the available Node.js version are that can be used in Azure?

This is similar to this question , but the asker there explicitly wants to know the version that is currently running, not what versions are available.

Answer 1

1. Open Advanced Tools (Kudu):

   

2. In Kudu, click on Runtime versions :

   

At the time of writing (August 2017), you'll see something like this:

{
  "nodejs": [

Answer 5

I use Application Service Environment with Linux. I set Node.js version to 10.10 in portal. The WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION value is 10.10 Here is what I get in deployment logs:

Using appsetting WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION value: 10.10
Node.js versions available on the platform are: 4.4.7, 4.5.0, 6.2.2, 6.6.0, 6.9.3,   6.10.3, 6.11.0, 8.0.0, 8.1.0, 8.2.1, 8.8.1, 8.9.4, 8.11.2, 9.4.0, 10.1.0.
Could not resolve node version. Deployment will proceed with default versions of node and npm.

And here is what I get when I run node --version in Kudu Bash console:

/home>node --version
v10.14.1

It is version 10.14.1 even it is not listed as available! However it is listed in Azure portal.

When I run SSH to container from Kudu on the same application:

 0517c643ed59:~# node --version
 v10.10.0

I'm really confused about what versions of Node.js are supported by Azure and what are actually in use!

Or go to Configuration and then General settings . Thank goodness they made that easier.
