I have built an Umbraco 13 app locally using a tutorial and it connects to an sql database.
Now I want to deploy it so I’ve created an app service on azure (web app + database) and that’s fine too. I’ve got the database all good and populated, I can connect to it locally and see the content and I can run my Umbraco app locally (Visual studio IIS button) while connecting to the deployed database and it displays everything correctly.
The issue I have is with the actual web app part and the umbraco repo pipeline (I think?).
I’ve got my repo hosted on azure devops and my pipeline looks like this:
# ASP.NET Core
trigger:
- master
pool:
vmImage: windows-latest
variables:
solution: '**/*.sln'
buildPlatform: 'Any CPU'
buildConfiguration: 'Release'
steps:
- task: NuGetToolInstaller@1
- task: NuGetCommand@2
inputs:
restoreSolution: '$(solution)'
- task: VSBuild@1
inputs:
solution: '$(solution)'
msbuildArgs: '/p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:WebPublishMethod=Package /p:PackageAsSingleFile=true /p:SkipInvalidConfigurations=true /p:PackageLocation="$(build.artifactStagingDirectory)"'
platform: '$(buildPlatform)'
configuration: '$(buildConfiguration)'
- task: PublishBuildArtifacts@1

I’ve got this appsettings.json in my repo:

I’ve got a few more things in an appsettings.Development.json:

}
}
And I don’t have any other appsettings.
I think I’m aligned with the Umbraco recommendations mentioned here and I’ve got the ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT variable set on my azure portal in my app service details (web app > settings > environment variables) with value ‘Production’.
At this point, my pipeline runs successfully and I can see on my azure portal (in Deployment center) that the last deployment is noted as successful, but when I click the url, I land on the usual azure empty app waiting for content, and I don’t know what to do to fix it. I just can’t find the right help out there, the posts are either too generic or about different more complex issues.
Can anyone help me please? I’m new at C# (and VS) and I’ve never deployed a C# & CMS app and I don’t know where to go from here. Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
