Azure VM/Docker – Access website deployed as Docker Container on Azure VM (Debian)-CodePudding

I am trying to deploy simple website as Docker Conteiner on Azure Virtual Machine port 80.

Procedure:

1 – Create VM and open port 80:

az group create --name my-vm-rg --location germanywestcentral
az vm create --resource-group my-vm-rg --name linuxVM --image Debian --admin-username <admin_user> --admin-password <admin_password> --authentication-type password --public-ip-sku Standard --size Standard_B1ms --disable-integrity-monitoring
az vm open-port --resource-group my-vm-rg --name linuxVM --port 80

2 – Connect to VM using Putty and install Docker, nano, update machine etc.

3 – Create new folder and simple index.html with <h1>Hello World</h1>

4 – Create Dockerfile

FROM nginx:1.17.1-alpine
LABEL maintainer="Name Surname <email>" description="Some random description"
COPY . /usr/share/nginx/html

5 – Build Dockerfile:

docker build -t docker-test-img .
docker image ls -a
docker run --name my-app -d -p 8080:80 docker-test-img
docker container ls -a

QUESTION: Docker container is running, but I can not access website from my local computer browser using <machine_ip_address>:80 or <machine_ip_address>:8080. I am getting „This site can’t be reached” error.

Why do I need it? I am trying to learn something new and yes, it has to be Azure VM. OS can be different.

CodePudding user response：

Since you're opening port 80 in your VM, you should run your container using -p 80:80 instead.
