Re: [tw5] [Short Tutorial] Run your NodeJS TW5 on Microsoft Azure for free

Wow, accepting no privacy, supplying all your info to Microsoft? Strange anyone would want it for anything other than perhaps business use.

Yesterday I was insomniac so I spent time trying to get TW5 up and running on Azure, I am sharing here (at a high level) how you can do it on your own if you want to

• Why would I want to do this ?
  
• You will have your own TW5 running on NodeJS (so read write)
  
• It is available from anywhere (internet published)
  
• It is secured (https & Username / password)
  
• It is free
  
• Why not to do this?
  
• it can get a bit geeky 
  
• Data is not encrypted at rest (i.e. data on azure is not encrypted)
  
• Is it really Free?
  
• Yes it is: Microsoft Azure offers an "Always Free" tier https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/free-account-faq/ that has a Azure App Service with 1GB of ram. This should be good enough for your TW
  
• What is the catch?
  
• you won't be able to use your "own domain" so your TW5 link will be https://something.azurewebsites.net which is totally fine for me
  

Ok I am in what do I do now ?

1. Download and install Visual Studio code https://code.visualstudio.com/ you can do it without that but it is much simpler to just use VS code so I will stick to that for this tutorial 
   
2. Open VS code and install Azure App Service extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-azuretools.vscode-azureappservice
   
3. Register for your free Azure Account  (you need only the always free tier so it won't expire after a year)
   
4. Open VS Code and sign in to azure
   

I've done all that now what?

Create your Azure Web App by following the below steps

wait for the creation to finish
