+ # Teams Production Endpoint Migration
2
+
3
+ Guide for migrating the Minions Teams bot from a Dev Tunnel to a stable public HTTPS endpoint for production use. Choose one of the three deployment options below based on your infrastructure.
4
+
5
+ **Key fact:** The Azure Bot messaging endpoint URL can be changed at any time in the Azure Portal — it takes effect immediately. No bot reinstallation is needed in Teams. This means you can switch between Dev Tunnel and production endpoints freely.
6
+
7
+ **Prerequisites:**
8
+
9
+ - A working Teams integration via Dev Tunnel (see [docs/teams-setup.md](teams-setup.md))
10
+ - Azure CLI installed (`az --version`) for Options 1 and 2
11
+ - A public-facing server or VM for Option 3
12
+
13
+ ---
14
+
15
+ ## Option 1: Azure App Service
16
+
17
+ Deploy the Minions dashboard as an Azure App Service with a stable FQDN.
18
+
19
+ ### Steps
20
+
21
+ 1. **Create an App Service Plan** (skip if you have one):
22
+
23
+ ```bash
24
+ az appservice plan create \
25
+ --name minions-plan \
26
+ --resource-group rg-minions \
27
+ --sku B1 \
28
+ --is-linux
29
+ ```
30
+
31
+ 2. **Create the Web App:**
32
+
33
+ ```bash
34
+ az webapp create \
35
+ --name minions-dashboard \
36
+ --resource-group rg-minions \
37
+ --plan minions-plan \
38
+ --runtime "NODE:20-lts"
39
+ ```
40
+
41
+ This creates a publicly accessible URL: `https://minions-dashboard.azurewebsites.net`
42
+
43
+ 3. **Configure environment variables:**
44
+
45
+ ```bash
46
+ az webapp config appsettings set \
47
+ --name minions-dashboard \
48
+ --resource-group rg-minions \
49
+ --settings \
50
+ PORT=8080 \
51
+ NODE_ENV=production
52
+ ```
53
+
54
+ > Azure App Service routes external port 443 (HTTPS) to your app's internal port (default 8080). Set `PORT=8080` so the dashboard listens on the expected port.
55
+
56
+ 4. **Deploy the code:**
57
+
58
+ ```bash
59
+ # From the minions repository root
60
+ az webapp deploy \
61
+ --name minions-dashboard \
62
+ --resource-group rg-minions \
63
+ --src-path . \
64
+ --type zip
65
+ ```
66
+
67
+ Alternatively, configure continuous deployment from your Git repository:
68
+
69
+ ```bash
70
+ az webapp deployment source config \
71
+ --name minions-dashboard \
72
+ --resource-group rg-minions \
73
+ --repo-url https://github.com/your-org/minions \
74
+ --branch master \
75
+ --manual-integration
76
+ ```
77
+
78
+ 5. **Copy `config.json` to the App Service.** The simplest approach is to use the Kudu console or App Service Editor to upload your `config.json` to the application root. Alternatively, mount an Azure File Share containing your config.
79
+
80
+ 6. **Update the Azure Bot messaging endpoint:**
81
+
82
+ - Open the [Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com) > your Azure Bot resource > **Configuration**.
83
+ - Change the **Messaging endpoint** to:
84
+ ```
85
+ https://minions-dashboard.azurewebsites.net/api/bot
86
+ ```
87
+ - Click **Apply**. The change takes effect immediately.
88
+
89
+ ### Verify
90
+
91
+ 1. Open `https://minions-dashboard.azurewebsites.net/api/routes` in a browser — you should see the API route list.
92
+ 2. In the Azure Bot resource, click **Test in Web Chat** and send a message.
93
+ 3. Send a message in Teams to the bot — confirm it receives and responds.
94
+
95
+ ### Rollback
96
+
97
+ To revert to Dev Tunnel:
98
+
99
+ 1. Start your local Dev Tunnel: `devtunnel host -p 7331 --allow-anonymous`
100
+ 2. Update the Azure Bot messaging endpoint back to your tunnel URL: `https://<tunnel>.devtunnels.ms/api/bot`
101
+ 3. Click **Apply**. Traffic returns to your local machine immediately.
102
+
103
+ ---
104
+
105
+ ## Option 2: Azure Container App
106
+
107
+ Containerize the dashboard and deploy to Azure Container Apps with a stable FQDN.
108
+
109
+ ### Steps
110
+
111
+ 1. **Create a Dockerfile** in the repository root:
112
+
113
+ ```dockerfile
114
+ FROM node:20-slim
115
+ WORKDIR /app
116
+ COPY package*.json ./
117
+ RUN npm ci --omit=dev 2>/dev/null || true
118
+ COPY . .
119
+ EXPOSE 7331
120
+ CMD ["node", "dashboard.js"]
121
+ ```
122
+
123
+ > Minions has zero npm dependencies beyond Node.js built-ins, so `npm ci` may be a no-op. The botbuilder package (added by this feature branch) is the exception.
124
+
125
+ 2. **Build and push to Azure Container Registry:**
126
+
127
+ ```bash
128
+ # Create a container registry (skip if you have one)
129
+ az acr create \
130
+ --name minionsacr \
131
+ --resource-group rg-minions \
132
+ --sku Basic
133
+
134
+ # Build and push
135
+ az acr build \
136
+ --registry minionsacr \
137
+ --image minions-dashboard:latest .
138
+ ```
139
+
140
+ 3. **Create a Container Apps environment** (skip if you have one):
141
+
142
+ ```bash
143
+ az containerapp env create \
144
+ --name minions-env \
145
+ --resource-group rg-minions \
146
+ --location eastus
147
+ ```
148
+
149
+ 4. **Deploy the container:**
150
+
151
+ ```bash
152
+ az containerapp create \
153
+ --name minions-dashboard \
154
+ --resource-group rg-minions \
155
+ --environment minions-env \
156
+ --image minionsacr.azurecr.io/minions-dashboard:latest \
157
+ --registry-server minionsacr.azurecr.io \
158
+ --target-port 7331 \
159
+ --ingress external \
160
+ --min-replicas 1 \
161
+ --max-replicas 1 \
162
+ --env-vars NODE_ENV=production
163
+ ```
164
+
165
+ > Use `--min-replicas 1 --max-replicas 1` because the Minions engine uses file-based state that doesn't support multiple replicas.
166
+
167
+ 5. **Get the FQDN:**
168
+
169
+ ```bash
170
+ az containerapp show \
171
+ --name minions-dashboard \
172
+ --resource-group rg-minions \
173
+ --query "properties.configuration.ingress.fqdn" \
174
+ --output tsv
175
+ ```
176
+
177
+ This returns something like: `minions-dashboard.happyfield-abc123.eastus.azurecontainerapps.io`
178
+
179
+ 6. **Update the Azure Bot messaging endpoint:**
180
+
181
+ - Open the [Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com) > your Azure Bot resource > **Configuration**.
182
+ - Change the **Messaging endpoint** to:
183
+ ```
184
+ https://minions-dashboard.happyfield-abc123.eastus.azurecontainerapps.io/api/bot
185
+ ```
186
+ - Click **Apply**. The change takes effect immediately.
187
+
188
+ ### Verify
189
+
190
+ 1. Open `https://<your-fqdn>/api/routes` in a browser.
191
+ 2. Test via Azure Bot **Test in Web Chat**.
192
+ 3. Send a message in Teams — confirm end-to-end flow works.
193
+
194
+ ### Rollback
195
+
196
+ To revert to Dev Tunnel:
197
+
198
+ 1. Start your local Dev Tunnel: `devtunnel host -p 7331 --allow-anonymous`
199
+ 2. Update the Azure Bot messaging endpoint back to your tunnel URL.
200
+ 3. Click **Apply**. Immediate switchover.
201
+
202
+ Optionally stop the container to save costs:
203
+
204
+ ```bash
205
+ az containerapp update \
206
+ --name minions-dashboard \
207
+ --resource-group rg-minions \
208
+ --min-replicas 0 --max-replicas 0
209
+ ```

+

+
213
+ ## Option 3: Reverse Proxy (nginx / Caddy)
214
+
215
+ For servers with a public IP address or an existing reverse proxy setup.
216
+
217
+ ### Steps (Caddy — recommended for simplicity)

+ Caddy automatically provisions and renews TLS certificates via Let's Encrypt.
220
+
221
+ 1. **Install Caddy:**
222
+
223
+ ```bash
224
+ # Debian/Ubuntu
225
+ sudo apt install -y caddy
226
+
227
+ # macOS
228
+ brew install caddy
229
+ ```
230
+
231
+ 2. **Configure Caddy.** Create or edit `/etc/caddy/Caddyfile`:
232
+
233
+ ```
234
+ minions.yourdomain.com {
235
+ reverse_proxy localhost:7331
236
+ }
237
+ ```
238
+
239
+ > Replace `minions.yourdomain.com` with your actual domain. Ensure a DNS A record points this domain to your server's public IP.
240
+
241
+ 3. **Start Caddy:**
242
+
243
+ ```bash
244
+ sudo systemctl enable --now caddy
245
+ ```
246
+
247
+ Caddy automatically obtains a Let's Encrypt TLS certificate for your domain.
248
+
249
+ 4. **Start the Minions dashboard:**
250
+
251
+ ```bash
252
+ minions dash
253
+ ```
254
+
255
+ Or run it as a systemd service for persistence:
256
+
257
+ ```bash
258
+ # /etc/systemd/system/minions-dashboard.service
259
+ [Unit]
260
+ Description=Minions Dashboard
261
+ After=network.target
262
+
263
+ [Service]
264
+ Type=simple
265
+ User=your-user
266
+ WorkingDirectory=/path/to/minions
267
+ ExecStart=/usr/bin/node dashboard.js
268
+ Restart=on-failure
269
+
270
+ [Install]
271
+ WantedBy=multi-user.target
272
+ ```
273
+
274
+ ```bash
275
+ sudo systemctl enable --now minions-dashboard
276
+ ```
277
+
278
+ 5. **Update the Azure Bot messaging endpoint:**
279
+
280
+ - Open the Azure Portal > your Azure Bot resource > **Configuration**.
281
+ - Change the **Messaging endpoint** to:
282
+ ```
283
+ https://minions.yourdomain.com/api/bot
284
+ ```
285
+ - Click **Apply**. The change takes effect immediately.
286
+
287
+ ### Steps (nginx)
288
+
289
+ 1. **Install nginx and certbot:**
290
+
291
+ ```bash
292
+ sudo apt install -y nginx certbot python3-certbot-nginx
293
+ ```
294
+
295
+ 2. **Configure nginx.** Create `/etc/nginx/sites-available/minions`:
296
+
297
+ ```nginx
298
+ server {
299
+ listen 80;
300
+ server_name minions.yourdomain.com;
301
+
302
+ location / {
303
+ proxy_pass http://localhost:7331;
304
+ proxy_http_version 1.1;
305
+ proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
306
+ proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
307
+ proxy_set_header Host $host;
308
+ proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
309
+ proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
310
+ proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
311
+ }
312
+ }
313
+ ```
314
+
315
+ ```bash
316
+ sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/minions /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
317
+ sudo nginx -t && sudo systemctl reload nginx
318
+ ```
319
+
320
+ 3. **Obtain a TLS certificate:**
321
+
322
+ ```bash
323
+ sudo certbot --nginx -d minions.yourdomain.com
324
+ ```
325
+
326
+ Certbot modifies the nginx config to add TLS and sets up auto-renewal.
327
+
328
+ 4. **Start the Minions dashboard** (same as Caddy option above).
329
+
330
+ 5. **Update the Azure Bot messaging endpoint** (same as Caddy option above).
331
+
332
+ ### Verify
333
+
334
+ 1. Open `https://minions.yourdomain.com/api/routes` in a browser — confirm the route list loads over HTTPS.
335
+ 2. Check the TLS certificate: `curl -vI https://minions.yourdomain.com 2>&1 | grep "SSL certificate"`.
336
+ 3. Test via Azure Bot **Test in Web Chat**.
337
+ 4. Send a message in Teams — confirm the bot responds.
338
+
339
+ ### Rollback
340
+
341
+ To revert to Dev Tunnel:
342
+
343
+ 1. Start your local Dev Tunnel: `devtunnel host -p 7331 --allow-anonymous`
344
+ 2. Update the Azure Bot messaging endpoint back to your tunnel URL.
345
+ 3. Click **Apply**. Immediate switchover.
346
+
347
+ The reverse proxy can remain running — it just won't receive Bot Framework traffic until the endpoint is pointed back.

351
+ ## Choosing an Option
352
+
353
+ | Criteria | App Service | Container App | Reverse Proxy |
354
+ |----------|-------------|---------------|---------------|
355
+ | Setup complexity | Medium | Medium | Low (Caddy) / Medium (nginx) |
356
+ | TLS management | Automatic | Automatic | Automatic (Caddy/certbot) |
357
+ | Cost | ~$13/mo (B1) | Pay-per-use | Free (your server + Let's Encrypt) |
358
+ | Custom domain | Supported | Supported | Required |
359
+ | Scaling | Supported but not needed | Supported but not needed | Manual |
360
+ | Best for | Azure-native teams | Container workflows | Existing servers |
361
+
362
+ > **Note on replicas:** Minions uses file-based state (`engine/*.json`). Do not run multiple replicas — use exactly 1 instance. All three options above default to single-instance deployment.
363
+
364
+ ## Common Notes
365
+
366
+ - **Endpoint changes are immediate.** When you update the messaging endpoint in the Azure Bot Configuration, it takes effect right away. No bot reinstallation, no downtime, no user-visible change in Teams.
367
+ - **No deprecated webhooks.** This guide uses Azure Bot Framework exclusively. Do not use deprecated O365 Connector webhooks or Power Automate flows — they are being removed by Microsoft.
368
+ - **Config portability.** The same `config.json` works across all environments. Just ensure the `teams.appId` and `teams.appPassword` are correct for the bot registration that points to your production URL.
