# Azure container instance

To deploy UI Bakery to an Azure container instance, follow these steps:

1. Login docker to Azure.

```bash
docker login azure
```

2. Create a docker context.

```bash
docker context create aci uibakery
```

3. Use new context.

```bash
docker context use uibakery
```

4. Clone ui bakery self-hosted repository.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/uibakery/self-hosted.git && cd self-hosted
```

5. UI Bakery requires db to persist its data. So it's necessary to create one. We suggest you use [**Azure Database for MySQL**](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/mysql/#overview).
6. Set `UI_BAKERY_LICENSE_KEY` variable in *docker-compose-azure-container-instances.yml* for `bakery-back` service.

```bash
UI_BAKERY_LICENSE_KEY=${UI_BAKERY_LICENSE_KEY:-eyJhbGciOiJIUz}
```

7. Set `UI_BAKERY_DB_*` variables in *docker-compose-azure-container-instances.yml* for `bakery-back` service.

```bash
UI_BAKERY_DB_HOST=${UI_BAKERY_DB_HOST:-azure-container-instance-test-db.mysql.database.azure.com}
UI_BAKERY_DB_PORT=${UI_BAKERY_DB_PORT:-3306}
UI_BAKERY_DB_DATABASE=${UI_BAKERY_DB_DATABASE:-bakery}
UI_BAKERY_DB_USERNAME=${UI_BAKERY_DB_USERNAME:-uibakeryuser@azure-container-instance-db}
UI_BAKERY_DB_PASSWORD=${UI_BAKERY_DB_PASSWORD:-uibakerypassword}
```

8. Up the Azure container instance.

```bash
docker compose -f docker-compose-azure-container-instances.yml up
```

9. Find the assigned IP address. Run `docker ps` and in column *PORTS* you'll find the assigned IP address.
10. Replace all occurrences of `UI_BAKERY_APP_SERVER_NAME` with the IP address retrieved in the previous step.

```bash
UI_BAKERY_APP_SERVER_NAME=https://123.123.123.123
```

11. Restart the instance to apply the new configuration.

```bash
docker compose -f docker-compose-azure-container-instances.yml up
```
