Multi-Container Azure App service - how to connect via SSH to a specific container

I have a setup with a multi-container Linux Azure app service, for running a web application and some side apps in different containers used by the main application.

I managed to set up the SSH connection to the main container however, I did not find a solution to connect via SSH to all the other containers from the app service.

Is this possible at all? The SSH config is made based on this documentation.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello Istvan Fazakas,

    Thanks for your question.

    SSH to individual containers within a multi-container Azure App Service is not natively supported. You can try from ssh support on your docker image.

    You must add SSH support to your Docker image by adding an 'sshd_config' file to your repository, which configures OpenSSH and must include the items that were explained here.

    Regards,
