Quick start

  1. Deploy from the Azure Marketplace (Get It Now → Create), choosing your SSH key at the Administration step.
  2. Allow inbound SSH (22) for yourself plus the application port(s): 80 and 443 (HTTP/S) — restrict to your own IP where possible. The in-image firewall already allows them; only the Network Security Group (NSG) keeps them closed.
  3. Browse to http://<VM-IP>/ — NGINX answers immediately; put your site in /var/www/html/ and reload with `sudo systemctl reload nginx`.
  4. Add your TLS certificate to a 443 server block (certbot --nginx works out of the box) and remove /var/www/html/info.php.

First login

  1. No credential is generated: browse to http://<VM-IP>/ (and http://<VM-IP>/info.php for the PHP configuration — delete /var/www/html/info.php before going live).
