I'm deploying a Nodejs application to azure platform using GitHub actions
and apparently my deployment has succeed
but when I click on app URL it gives me application error
message
and after I click on diagnostic resources.
link it gives me an error Resource Not Found
and also i found this error in log stream Container mongez-api__04d6 didn't respond to HTTP pings on port: 8080, failing site start. See container logs for debugging
this is the script section in my package.json
"scripts": {
"build": "rimraf build && node esbuild.config.mjs",
"start": "node build/index.cjs"
},
and my github action workflow as follow for azure deployment

Reset to default 0I created a sample NodeJS application and successfully deployed it to Azure App Service without any errors.
- The error you're encountering mainly occurs when the port is hardcoded instead of using
process.env.PORT
, or when usingimport
instead ofrequire
in Node.js. - So, make sure you use
require
method in your main file.
const express = require('express');
- Use below line to define port in your code
const port = process.env.PORT || 8080;
Complete Index.js:
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const port = process.env.PORT || 8080;
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send('Hello, Azure!');
});
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Server is running on port ${port}`);
});

"name": "nodejs-azure-app",
