How to add command line arguments to Azure Web App?

Question

Locally we can do dotnet run [args] or dotnet publish followed by dotnet mydll.dll [args].

When deploying that App to an Azure Web App under App Services, how do you make it startup with these command line arguments?

Answer 1

You can use the Kudu API Rest to execute command lines operations.

Documentation: https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/REST-API

POST /api/command

Executes an arbitrary command line and return its output

{
"command": 'echo Hello World',
"dir": 'site\\repository'
}

The JSON body of the post should look like this, passing the command and the folder it should run in.

You need to use Basic Auth (Get your credentials in Overview / Get Publish Profile Section) in order to make a POST request.
