Hello @Bowres Nathan in Azure App Service deployed with Docker Compose on Linux, your application files are not directly accessible through Kudu or any other external service for security reasons. Here’s how you can access your application files:

1. You can SSH into the running Docker container to access your application files. To do this, you can use the “SSH” option in the Azure portal
2. If you need persistent storage that can be accessed from outside the container, you can use an Azure File Share. You can mount the Azure File Share to your web app and then read/write files directly to it.
3. If you have access to the Docker host, you can use the docker exec command to run a shell inside your Docker container, which would allow you to access your application files.
