App Services Docker container: didn't respond to HTTP pings on port: 80, failing site start

Question

I'm having problems with deploying my Django Application to Azure App-services. I'm getting the error when checking the logs:

didn't respond to HTTP pings on port: 8000, failing site start. See container logs for debugging.

I've followed the instructions as stated here to resolve the problem, but still no luck: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/archive/blogs/waws/things-you-should-know-web-apps-and-linux#NoPing

This is my set-up

I have this in my Dockerfile:

EXPOSE 80  
EXPOSE 8000

This is my dockercompose.yml

version: '3'

services:
  web:
    build: .
    command: bash -c "python projectile/manage.py makemigrations && python projectile/manage.py migrate && python projectile/manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000"
    container_name: image_service
    volumes:
      - .:/image_service
    ports:
      - "80"
      - "8000"

I have these settings in the App Service Config in the portal

WEBSITES_PORT 8000
PORT 80

What's wrong here? Would be awesome if someone could help. me out.

Answer 1

You're trying to Build your container in App Service., this is unsupported. Deploy your image in a registry like Docker Hub or Azure Container Registry.

Unsupported options

• build (not allowed)
• depends_on (ignored)
• networks (ignored)
• secrets (ignored)
• ports other than 80 and 8080 (ignored)
