☁️ Deploy to Azure - GitHub Actions

The following steps describes how the application can be deployed to Azure App service using GitHub Actions.

🧬 Fork the repository

If you haven't already, fork this repository to your own organisation so that you can execute GitHub Actions against your own Azure Subscription. This allows you to edit the code, customise it to your needs, and maintain control over the deployment process.

🗝️ Configure secrets in your GitHub repository

1. AZURE_CREDENTIALS

The GitHub workflow requires a secret named AZURE_CREDENTIALS to authenticate with Azure. The secret contains the credentials for a service principal with the Contributor role on the resource group containing the container app and container registry.

  1. Create a service principal with the Contributor role on the resource group that contains the Azure App Service.

    az ad sp create-for-rbac
   --name <NAME OF THE CREDENTIAL> --role contributor --scopes /subscriptions/<SUBSCRIPTION ID>/resourceGroups/<RESOURCE GROUP> --sdk-auth --output json

  2. Copy the JSON output from the command.

  3. In the GitHub repository, navigate to Settings > Secrets > Actions and select New repository secret.

  4. Enter AZURE_CREDENTIALS as the name and paste the contents of the JSON output as the value.

  5. Select Add secret.

2. AZURE_APP_SERVICE_NAME

Under the same repository secrets add a new variable AZURE_APP_SERVICE_NAME to deploy to your Azure Web app. The value of this secret is the name of your Azure Web app e.g. my-web-app-name from the domain https://my-web-app-name.azurewebsites.net/

3. Run GitHub Actions

Once the secrets are configured, the GitHub Actions will be triggered for every code push to the repository. Alternatively, you can manually run the workflow by clicking on the "Run Workflow" button in the Actions tab of your GitHub repository.
