Site is deployed on Azure, but I cannot get access index.html

Question

I am trying to build and release front-end app based on quasar on Azure Portal.

Building is OK.

Releasing is OK, but when I go to the apps link I see standard welcome screen:

I checked deployed code via SSH it is there, but it is located on "/home/site/wwwroot/index.html"

How do I point to the correct folder with my app? Thank you!

Answer 1

Firstly there is an official doc about this: how to set the default document in a Node.js app .

It uses express to solve it, Create index.js there with the following code, then restart your app then it will work.

var express = require('express');
var server = express();
var options = {
index: 'index.html'
};
server.use('/', express.static('/home/site/wwwroot', options));
server.listen(process.env.PORT);

Except this, there is another way to solve it, use pm2 since that is already part of the stack. Add the below startup command for the app:

pm2 serve /home/site/wwwroot --no-daemon

After restart the app, it will pick the index pages from the wwwroot.
