# Azure App Service Running Docker Containers on Linux
Creates Azure App Service and Deploys Docker images to it
- Source on GitHub: https://github.com/pulumi/examples/tree/master/azure-go-appservice-docker
## Get started with this example
This example lives in the [pulumi/examples](https://github.com/pulumi/examples/tree/master/azure-go-appservice-docker) repo. Pull down just this directory to follow along:
```bash
git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/pulumi/examples pulumi-examples
git -C pulumi-examples sparse-checkout set azure-go-appservice-docker
cd pulumi-examples/azure-go-appservice-docker
```
Starting point for building web application hosted in Azure App Service from Docker images.
The example shows two scenarios:
- Deploying an existing image from Docker Hub
- Deploying a new custom registry in Azure Container Registry, building a custom Docker image, and running the image from the custom registry
## Running the App
1. Create a new stack:
```
$ pulumi stack init dev
```
1. Login to Azure CLI (you will be prompted to do this during deployment if you forget this step):
```
$ az login
```
1. Set the Azure region location to use:
```
$ pulumi config set azure-native:location westus2
```
1. Run `pulumi up` to preview and deploy changes:
```
$ pulumi up
Previewing changes:
...
Performing changes:
...
Resources:
+ 8 created
Duration: 56s
```
1. Check the deployed website endpoint:
```
$ pulumi stack output helloEndpoint
https://helloappecc2f992.azurewebsites.net
$ curl "$(pulumi stack output helloEndpoint)"
