Step 1: Log in to Azure portal

Step 2: Click to "App Services" to create an instant

Step 3: Click to "Add" button to start to create an instant process

Step 4: Fill in the information for your instant

Notes:

Please make sure you try to install on free instant at the 1st time to make use to the installation process and reduce the Azure fee

Notes:

Please refer to the Docker Network information here: https://docs.docker.com/compose/networking/
They have mentioned as below:

Within the web container, your connection string to db would look like postgres://db:5432, and from the host machine, the connection string would look like postgres://{DOCKER_IP}:8001.

Cheers!
