Occasionally, there are times when a system needs to undergo maintenance for a short time. Standard Web Apps handle this by redirecting all traffic to an app_offline.htm if the file exists in the root directory (wwwroot). What is the equivalent for a Linux Web App for Containers instance?
I tried using Kudu's Bash terminal by echoing the minimum html contents into an app_offline.htm but it isn't working.
One thing I was looking into would be having a specific container image that is for maintenance, but that doesn't seem very elegant.
Eventually, I would like to be able to automate this via Azure DevOps.
Are you able to create an app setting with the name SCM_CREATE_APP_OFFLINE and a value of 1 to see if this allows the creation of a app_offline.htm file?
