1. Azure Cloudshell -> Bash
2. Create cloud-init.yaml (with nano or whatever)

#cloud-config
package_upgrade: true

packages:
  - docker.io

runcmd:
  - systemctl start docker
  - systemctl enable docker
  - docker run --detach --name watchtower --restart=on-failure --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock containrrr/watchtower --label-enable --cleanup --interval 3600
  - docker run --detach --name archiveteam-warrior --label=com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable=true --restart=on-failure --publish 8001:8001 --env DOWNLOADER="highscore name" --env HTTP_USERNAME="xxx" --env HTTP_PASSWORD="yyy" --env SELECTED_PROJECT="auto" --env CONCURRENT_ITEMS="4" atdr.meo.ws/archiveteam/warrior-dockerfile




3. Create a bash script: create_vms.sh (Think of chmod +x create_vms.sh)

#!/bin/bash

# The number of VMs to be created
num_vms=5

# The base for the name of the VMs
vm_name_base="myVM"

# The ID of the subscription to use
subscription_id="your-subscription-id"

# The username and password for the VMs
username="xxx"
password="yyy"

# Set the active subscription
az account set --subscription $subscription_id

# Create a resource group
az group create --name myResourceGroup --location westeurope

# Loop to create the VMs
for ((i=1; i<=num_vms; i++)); do
  # Generate the VM name
  vm_name="${vm_name_base}${i}"

  # Create the VM
  az vm create \
    --resource-group myResourceGroup \
    --name $vm_name \
    --image UbuntuLTS \
    --size Standard_B1ls \
    --admin-username $username \
    --admin-password $password \
    --custom-data cloud-init.yaml

  # Open port 8001
  az vm open-port --port 8001 --resource-group myResourceGroup --name $vm_name
done
