Deploying to Azure

[SkyBlade1978]

Hi,

So I now have my container working in desktop docker, next step to pop it online so people can play it, and I would like to use azure.

I wonder is there a step-by-step for this, I understand I'll need to create an azure file share for the volume, at the moment I'm stuck on the environment variables tab of creating a container as I am not sure the correct way to transpose my docker terminal command I used to create the container into the UI..

For example I have;

docker run -d -it -v mcvol:/data -e TYPE=FORGE -p 25565:25565 -e EULA=TRUE -e VERSION=1.10.2 -e JVM_DD_OPTS=fml.queryResult:confirm --name mc itzg/minecraft-server:java8

And in the azure ui for the variables I have two fields, key and value, if I need to pass in -it is that a key or a value?

Why not use a Azure VM and then install docker etc. on it?

I agree with @DanielRamp that running docker yourself on a VM is possibly the best way to go. Otherwise, the docs for compose support look promising
