How do I deploy a .jar file?

Amit Reef 0

I currently run a Minecraft server using Arclight and I want to deploy the program on an azure server. I know how to do it in a VM but I was hoping to make it an App instead to make it easier to access the console. Thank you!

@Amit Reef Thanks for asking question! You may refer to this article shows you how to deploy your code as a ZIP, WAR, JAR, or EAR package to Azure App Service. It also shows how to deploy individual files to App Service, separate from your application package.

To deploy a .jar file to Azure App Service, you can use the Azure CLI, PowerShell, or the Kudu publish API. The deployment process places the package on the shared file drive correctly. For that reason, deploying JAR packages using FTP or WebDeploy is not recommended.

Deploy a JAR package by using the az webapp deploy command.

Also, refer to this Quickstart: Create a Java app on Azure App Service

It's worth considering other options for hosting your server.

For years, i've been running Minecraft in a container using the ACI then AKS and then back to ACI again 😏

I have a repository full of Infrastructure as Code assets to do all of this : https://gitlab.com/Gordonby/MinecraftOnAzure

There are container images for both Bedrock and Java which you can use from https://docker-minecraft-server.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

If you're new to Azure or containers, then this script is the easiest place to start... Check the variables at the top and then what services are created throughout the script.
