Docker Compose, Azure App Service with managed PostgreSQL, and a plain Ubuntu VM: one app, three deployments, and every error along the way.
I wanted a hands-on project to actually cement what I'd been learning in Docker and Azure, build something small, break it, fix it, and ship it for real. So I built Container Vibes: a tiny Express app that hands you a random "vibe" (a color theme + a little quote) every time you click a button. It's deliberately simple. The point was never the app it was everything around it: containerizing it properly, pushing it to a registry, and getting it running live on Azure Container Instances (ACI). This post walks through the entire build, step by step, in the exact order I actually did it including the three errors I ran into along the way and exactly how I diagnosed and fixed each one.
A few weeks ago I built an Azure VM with Terraform from my laptop. It worked, but I still had to SSH in, install nginx and copy my website over by hand. This time I wanted all of that to happen on its own. I run git push from Git Bash, and a live website shows up on a brand new VM. The website is a copy of a public GitHub project called Omnifood, and the workflow clones it onto the server for me. No portal clicking, no SSH from me. It took me a few hours and a lot of red error messages. In this post I'll show you what worked, what broke, and how I destroyed everything at the end so Azure doesn't charge me for a VM I forgot about. (The name "Hagital" comes from my school, Hagital Tech Institute. Use your own names when you follow along.)
This was my first real hands-on Terraform assignment: deploy a working Azure VM, wire up a remote backend for the state file, and document the whole process. On paper it looked like a weekend task. It took me close to three days, mostly because I kept running into errors I'd never seen before and had to actually understand each one instead of working around it. This post walks through what I built, the order I built it in, the four errors that stopped me at different points, how I got past each one, and the proof that it all worked in the end.
