How to upgrade minor version of a nodeJS on Azure App Service

Question

I am using 18 LTS on App Service and the runtime is 18.16.1 which is not the latest one.

How to update the MINOR version of a node to the latest one for example to 18.17.0 or 18.18.0

As I see in logs using this docker image, docker run ...... **appsvc/node:18-lts_20230810.1.tuxprod**

but also I see that available new one https://mcr.microsoft.com/v2/appsvc/node/tags/list 18-lts_20230908.2.tuxprod . How could I force to update the version?

if you don't want to be on the azure update schedule (they will eventually get there), you need to use a node container instead. in this case you control the version of node, but you would also be responsible for all updates. that is you need rebuild and deploy the container for all node updates you want to support.
