Running Discourse on Azure Web Sites vs. Azure VM?

I’m already running (and paying for) a site using Azure Web Sites and want to know if anyone has been able to set up Discourse on Web Sites (the fully managed platform) as opposed to an Azure VM. I’d rather not pay for an extra VM when I have the ability to spin up another web site on the managed side of things for no cost. Thanks.

Ruby is not supported by this service. Since even java is not supported, it will be nearly impossible to get discourse running… unless you re-wrote it in a language they support.

Now that Java in Web Apps (formerly Websites) is available, is running Discourse on the managed platform now a possibility?

Unlikely, we do not work under JRuby at the moment + there is a mountain of dependencies

Why not use Docker?

I know that azure (and by extension Microsoft) is moving into the docker space, where containers can be setup on a scaling interface.

It won’t be easy to deploy directly to using the building script, but could be an interesting deployment method overall.

The “Azure Container Service” is now official:

¿Existe una guía oficial sobre cómo instalar Discourse con Azure Container Service? ¿O Setup Discourse on Azure es el método preferido?

Configurar una VM de Linux en Azure sigue siendo el método preferido, ya que es el más similar a una instalación de VM en Digital Ocean.

Listo para configurarlo usando una máquina virtual Linux (Ubuntu más reciente). Funciona de maravilla. Gracias.

¿Podrías aconsejar sobre el uso de Azure Blob Storage Plugin frente a preferir otras formas de almacenar medios subidos? ¿Es Azure Blob Storage la solución adecuada para hoy?

Hmm, parece que no se ha probado:

Puedes probar la interfaz similar a S3 de Azure Blob Storage (sin plugin) usando las plantillas del tema mencionado y ver si funciona.
