Electron app (nightmare.js) failing on Azure App Service for Linux

Is it possible to run Electron apps (Nightmare.js) on the Azure App Service for Linux nodejs built-in containers? It seems like there may be some specific Azure configuration settings required for this to work. The issue is the node server can't launch Nightmare.js and throws a connection timeout error.

Has anyone been successful in getting an Electron app to work on Azure App Service?

Hi DianeBustamante-7877,


Based on this SO thread you need to check your Dockerfile for exposed ports. Also setting explicit WEBSITES_PORT in your Azure Web App's "Application Settings" should help.
