Azure Web App Linux Container WEBSITES_ENABLE_APP_SERVICE_STORAGE=true Warmup timeout error

Hi

I have a docker container with a asp net core 3.1 app inside (using SQLite with files stored on /home/db.sqlite)


The app is up and running without problems - with WEBSITES_ENABLE_APP_SERVICE_STORAGE==false.


If i change this setting to true then the container start fails with a timout during warmup.

there is no additional info/exception :
- not in Application Inside
- not in Console Log (i have access to docker console log) and log filters are off


the app looks like frozen!

Any idea ?


btw: with "mount storage (preview)" i have the same problems, so the issue may releated to the mounting in general.


Other observations: my app should create sqlite files on the mount: they are there .. that means basic write access is working.

But no idea why the entire app is "frozen" and not able to produce a output (trace levels at maximum).

(Frozen means: WebHostbuilder.Run has started, EF-Migrations are executed and then NO HTTPresponses (Warmup and others).....


WITHOUT mount or WEBSITES_ENABLE_APP_SERVICE_STORAGE everything is working....

any help/idea is welcome

regards
Werner

Hi @WernerMairl-2597, thanks for reaching out on Q&A. As a short-term quick fix, have you tried adjusting the container wait time to max by setting WEBSITES_CONTAINER_START_TIME_LIMIT = 1800? Under "mount storage (preview)", is your storage and dockerfile configured similar to the screenshot below?

I also realize that there was nothing in the logs, but could you include a snippet of the docker log when the container is starting up?

mount storage-preview

observation: 1. App stopped 2. deleted /home/LogFiles manually via Kudu/Bash 3. Rebuilded docker container (more traces/some try to fix, configured to ignore external (mounted storage). 4. app restart (starttime limit 90 seconds, default duration 15 seconds) btw: debug-logging to azure azure storage is on and has created content on the last sucessful run


app start


after 15 minutes: app not available, empty files inside /home/LogFiles, no debug output inside azu storage


2 hours later (long break): app available, logs available....: assumtion: there was NO process taking 2 hours, but during the two ours the container may be stopped by the runtime (F1 Plan) and the restart after ~2hours was working fine!


here the log from this startup (2 minutes including docker pull) https://gist.github.com/WernerMairl/2865d4f0f2cbaf7efa83d5101ad1bd15

Other observations: issues during Connectionstring-bindings CUSTOMCONSTR not transparent - but not always (needs more investigation)


Next step: changed configuration (connectsrtring setting) and restart => seems to need endless... next try: waiting for 1-2 hours

waiting 15 minutes and container is up and running..... here the log:


https://gist.github.com/WernerMairl/a87433d1adcf7753b592e9efbf61e8d5


Timestamp 2020-01-03 08:43:20.949: my restart via Config change Timestamp 2020-01-03 08:44:56.549: runtime gives up, warmup takes to long multiple "docker run" are following, without success (same problem) The last one at timestampt "2020-01-03 09:05:03.632" is successful... BUT WHY ???


at timestamp "Timestamp 2020-01-03 08:44:56.549" the ConsoleLog shows that WebHost.Run was called but NO OTHER output....


checking new ideas....

Finding 1/assumption:


i had implemented a QueuedHostedService using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting and BackgroundService....


After deactivating this service inside DI the app start seems to be stable (1 minute)... needs more verification....


System.Environment.ProcessorCount inside my app returns "1"... basically that follows the original idea of docker... may be a sideeffect to the TaskScheduler engine.....


Finding2: Injection of connectionstrings is not stable. I get different values for connectionstrings inside my app after restart (restart caused by only ONE change on another appsetting).... needs mor investigations

thanks for answering!
assuming i have multiple problems on the same time... try to sort out and give more info!

my dockerfile basically looks like the following:

 FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/aspnet:3.1 AS base
 WORKDIR /app
 EXPOSE 80
    
 FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk:3.1 as dotnet-build
 WORKDIR /src
    
 FROM dotnet-build as publish
 WORKDIR /src
 COPY . .
    
 ARG BUILD_VERBOSITY=quiet
 ARG BUILD_CONFIGURATION=Release
    
 RUN chmod +x ./cli-linux/build-inside-docker.sh
 RUN ./cli-linux/build-inside-docker.sh $BUILD_VERBOSITY $BUILD_CONFIGURATION
    
 FROM base AS final
    
 ENV ConnectionStrings:TrailDB="Data Source=/home/trail365_dockerized2.sqlite"
 ENV ConnectionStrings:IdentityDB="Data Source=/home/identity365_default.sqlite"
 ENV ConnectionStrings:TaskDB="Data Source=/home/task365_default.sqlite"
    
 WORKDIR /app
 COPY --from=publish /app .
 ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "MSS.Trail365.Web.dll"]

means: workdir points to /app... no need to use external storage.
the only place where i need external storage is inside connectionstrings.

Back to the roots....improved my understanding around azure appservices, configs and restarts... but the core issue is remaining:

if i'm touching files inside external storage (mount) then the process seems to be stopped/freezing without any warning exception whatever......

I have configured a console logger (DefaultLevel "Trace") that produces a lot of outputs on every run.

if i'm starting the app with a configuration that uses the external storage (mount) then the console log looks like:
