When it comes to hosting the app static files such as the client app, launcher, & runtime, you can choose to use the same Docker container, a different Docker container, or a separate website. Make sure to tell the client app where the Web APIs is hosted and run.
Step 1: Go to the client app folder (for example, "salesdemo_cloud"), open the apprun.json file in a text editor.
Step 2: Specify the URL of the docker container where the Web APIs is running, for example, https://172.16.100.20:5009. This indicates that the client app will call the Web APIs running on the docker container at https://172.16.100.20:5009.

"deployment_urls": {
"launcher": "CloudAppPublisher/CloudAppInstall 25.0",
"runtime": "CloudAppPublisher/runtime/25.1.0.2670",
"web_api": "https://172.16.100.20:5009"
}

The host name (or IP address) of the docker container should be specified and it should be the same as that of the docker host/Docker Engine. The port number should be the same one specified when the docker container is run.
-
If the host name and port number of the docker container are changed later, you only need to update the Web API URL here (it is not necessary to re-deploy Web APIs to Docker).
-
It is highly recommended that you specify an HTTPS URL for the production environment.
