Hello,
We have a Release with a Stage to deploy our web api to Azure on a Windows App Service Plan.
It works now for years without any issue.
We needed to deploy the api to a new App Service Plan on Linux this time.
So I added to the existing Release conf a second Stage "deploy to linux plan".
The parameters are the same if not the destination plan and azure web app.
The problem is that de deployment is done under a sub, sub, sub directory on the wwwroot and not on it directly, forcing me to add Post Deployment Action to move the files to the wwwroot.
I feel it's not a normal process, but I can't find a way to make the wwwroot directory the real output for the deployment.
Summary:
If I just deploy the code without the Post Deployment Action scripts, the code is under a sub directory :
/home/site/wwwroot/Content/C_C/agentazure/_work/2/s/XXX/Main/YYY/obj/Release/net5.0/PubTmp/Out/And for the apps working, the files in the Out directory needs to be directly in the wwwroot.
So for this working, I manually move the files to the wwwroot folder in Post Deployment Action.
Here is the configuration and the Post Deployment Action I use to make the web app functional.

I just can't tell me that this is the way to do it and a I assume there is a more "best practice" way...
Thank you for the help.
