Quick example of using the Azure Serverless Functions framework inside a Docker Container.

• Docker
• .NET Core 2.0
• The latest azure-functions-core-tools npm install -g azure-functions-core-tools@core

• Clone the repository
• run func start on the command line
• browse to http://localhost:7071/api/echo - returns Hello from hostname [architecture and processor type]
• browse to /api/advocates - returns json result of the @azureadvocates list
• browse to /api/advocates?id=1 - returns individual advocate

When initializing a new function app project, a base Docker image can be added with the --docker option.

func init --docker

The Dockerfile added is very basic:

FROM microsoft/azure-functions-runtime:v2.0.0-beta1
ENV AzureWebJobsScriptRoot=/home/site/wwwroot
COPY . /home/site/wwwroot

Create the image for the project

docker build -t funkylinux .

Run the image and map port 80 to a local port.

docker run -p 3001:80 funkylinux

Browse to the same endpoints on the new url - http://localhost:3001/api/echo
