@Arek Thanks for reaching out. If you need to use Docker Container for your function app, you may consider upgrading to a Pay-As-You-Go subscription and make sure you create a function app in a Premium or Dedicated plan.

Note that as docker container is only supported for functions running in Linux Premium and Dedicated plan (Deployment technologies in Azure Functions | Microsoft Learn).

For Premium plan: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/scripts/functions-cli-create-premium-plan

For Dedicated plan: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/scripts/functions-cli-create-app-service-plan
