:( Application Error on Azure

Gramps Web
1

Tried installing using “App Services” on Azure, but keep getting

:frowning: Application Error

If you are the application administrator, you can access the diagnostic resources.

  1. I tried both nginx and the non-nginx docker-compose.yml files

  2. I tried various plans - from “free” to “basic” and to the “P1v3” (better than the basic plan)

I am quite new at cloud services and the reason I’m using Azure instead of digital ocean is because I’ve got free azure credits.

200 USD/month is definitely oversized :astonished:

If you have never deployed an app with docker-compose to Azure, I suggest following a few tutorials first, and reading the documentation at Getting Started - Gramps Web in detail.

When you are confident you have a setup that should work but doesn’t, please share all details (except private data like credentials) and logs here and we’ll do our best to help you.

Definitely agree it is oversized - I just wanted to make sure it wasn’t the plan that was restricting the app. Pretty sure I read that web page again and again. I don’t think running docker-compose is complicated on Azure.

I ran exactly the yaml file.

I did change the nginx ones to reflect the dns, but it shows the same application error message.

Ok, I found out the azure compose deployer has limitations. Some of these commands are not supported :frowning:
