Hi all,
just want to share web2py setup Azure Web Apps.
1. Create web app on Azure Portal
2. Fork a repo web2py (github)
3. Add 4 files to own github repository (web2py/)
4. Configure continuous deployment using github https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-publish-source-control/
look Deploy files from a repository site like BitBucket, CodePlex, Dropbox, GitHub, or Mercurial.
Azure creates an association with the selected repository, and pulls in the files from the specified branch. After this process completes, the Deployment section of your web app's blade will show an Active Deployment message that indicates deployment has succeeded.
5. Run web app on on Azure Portal
Admin password:
1.on local copy web2py - save the password in the parameters_8000.py file
2.rename parameters_8000.py parameters_443.py
3.copy parameters_443.py via FTP (link in Azure Portal) in site/wwwroot
Example:

+1 +1 +1 +1
this should go in web2pyslices.com (although the venv machinery is not strictly necessary, it's a "nice to have")

I do not know how long web2py slices will live. Bruno does not want to maintain it and GoDaddy is adopting their usual policy of not allowing the domain transfer (they say yes but it does not work). We need a better solution. Would you opposed to a scripts/azure/ subfolder?

we're working towards REDUCING scripts/anything_for_deployment because they quickly become unmaintained.
If we start to scripts/deploy/any_cloud_provider_out_there I guess it'll suffer for the same issues.
IMHO (maybe) we should use gitbook for recipes.

we can start using github wiki for all things in script/*

Hi Nbush,
I tried all the steps mentioned here, but for me, these steps are not working even for a given example.
SO link which explains my attempt and steps: https://stackoverflow.com/q/59749220/6299857
