How can I ssh into "Web App On Linux" docker container on Azure?

Question

How can I ssh into the container with the new "Web App On Linux" service?

It is currently in preview mode, I'm not sure that it is not possible yet or I have overseen the settings.

Answer 1

Here is an example that I got working with ssh together with a asp.net core app in linux container:

Dockerfile

#base image
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/aspnet:3.0-buster-slim AS base

#ssh
ENV SSH_PASSWD "root:Docker!"
RUN apt-get update \
        && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends dialog \
        && apt-get update \
  && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends openssh-server \
  && echo "$SSH_PASSWD" | chpasswd 

COPY MyApp/sshd_config /etc/ssh/
COPY MyApp/init.sh /usr/local/bin/

WORKDIR /app
EXPOSE 80 443 2222

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk:3.0-buster AS build
WORKDIR /src
COPY ["MyApp/MyApp.csproj", "MyApp/"]
RUN dotnet restore "MyApp/MyApp.csproj"
COPY . .
WORKDIR "/src/MyApp"
RUN dotnet build "MyApp.csproj" -c Release -o /app/build

FROM build AS publish
RUN dotnet publish "MyApp.csproj" -c Release -o /app/publish

FROM base AS final
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=publish /app/publish .
    
ENTRYPOINT ["bash","init.sh"]

init.sh in root folder of .net core project

service ssh start
dotnet MyApp.dll

sshd_config in root folder of .net core project

#
# /etc/ssh/sshd_config
