Custom deployment folder on Azure Web Apps with Git

  • Artikel

Sometimes you don't want to deploy your application in the default webapps directory when deploying from GitHub (continuous deployment) on Azure webapp. You can do this in 2 ways -

1. Use the SCM_TARGET_PATH to set your path which can be absolute or relative to the D:\home\site path.

   

 

2. Create two files in your git root:

.deployment

 [config] command=deploy.cmd

deploy.cmd

 @echo off 

 echo ---Deploying site 

  

 REM ---Deploy the wwwroot folder in repository to default target (wwwroot)

 xcopy %DEPLOYMENT_SOURCE%\wwwroot\* %DEPLOYMENT_TARGET%/Y /s 

  

 REM ---Deploy the myapp folder in repository to folder above default target (wwwroot\..\myapp)

 xcopy %DEPLOYMENT_SOURCE%\myapp\* %DEPLOYMENT_TARGET%\..\myapp /Y /s 

  

 Commit, push

 

Remember if you are customizing the deployment folder also set the application folder in the Azure portal accordingly, so that Azure recognizes the custom application folder -

 

In case you have a Java webapp and want to change the default context you can refer to my blog - https://blogs.msdn.com/b/azureossds/archive/2015/12/11/use-custom-context-for-azure-tomcat-application.aspx.

Good Luck!!
