With the Azure CLI, set `LinuxFxVersion` to `sitecontainers`. For example:
With the Azure CLI, convert your web app to use the `sitecontainers` configuration. For example:

```azurecli
az webapp config set --name <app-name> --resource-group <resource-group> --linux-fx-version sitecontainers
az webapp sitecontainers convert --mode sitecontainers --name <YourWebAppName> --resource-group <YourResourceGroup>
```

This updates the `LinuxFxVersion` to `sitecontainers` and enables support for the sidecar pattern.

### Revert to classic custom container (Docker) mode

If you need to switch back from the sidecar-enabled configuration to the classic Docker-based setup, run the following command:

```azurecli
az webapp sitecontainers convert \
--mode docker \
--name <app-name> \
--resource-group <resource-group>
```

This command removes all sidecar containers and resets your app to use the classic `DOCKER|<image>` style configuration. For full details, see the [Azure CLI documentation for `az webapp sitecontainers convert`](/cli/azure/webapp/sitecontainers).
