Solution 1

Or go to Configuration and then General settings. Thank goodness they made that easier.

Solution 2

Open Advanced Tools (Kudu):
In Kudu, click on Runtime versions:

At the time of writing (August 2017), you'll see something like this:

{
  "nodejs": [
    {
      "version": "0.10.18",
      "npm": "1.4.28"

Solution 3

Using the Azure CLI is easiest:

az webapp list-runtimes

returns:

[
  "aspnet|v4.7",
  "aspnet|v3.5",
  "node|0.6",
  "node|0.8",
  "node|0.10",
  "node|0.12",
  "node|4.8",
  "node|6.12",
  "node|7.10",
  "node|8.4",
  "node|8.5",
  "node|8.9",
  "node|8.10",
  "node|8.11",
  "node|10.0",
  "node|10.6",
  "php|5.6",
  "php|7.0",
  "php|7.1",
  "php|7.2",
  "python|2.7",
  "python|3.4",
  "java|1.7|Tomcat|7.0",
  "java|1.7|Tomcat|8.0",
  "java|1.7|Tomcat|8.5",
  "java|1.7|Tomcat|9.0",
  "java|1.7|Jetty|9.1",
  "java|1.7|Jetty|9.3",
  "java|1.8|Tomcat|7.0",
  "java|1.8|Tomcat|8.0",
  "java|1.8|Tomcat|8.5",
  "java|1.8|Tomcat|9.0",
  "java|1.8|Jetty|9.1",
  "java|1.8|Jetty|9.3"
]

Solution 4

Available WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION options can found here:

https://[your app name].scm.azurewebsites.net/api/diagnostics/runtime

For more details check How to find available node.js versions for Windows Webapps.

I already know how to change the version of Node.js running on an Azure website, but how do I see what the available Node.js version are that can be used in Azure?

This is similar to this question, but the asker there explicitly wants to know the version that is currently running, not what versions are available.
mogile_oli about 6 years

Definitely re-run this command to find the latest supported versions. As of April 2018, these were added:8.0.0 8.10.0 8.4.0 8.5.0 8.7.0 8.8.0 8.8.1 8.9.0 8.9.3 8.9.4

Sorry, I down voted because this az command gives a completely different list of versions than the Kudu website. Using the versions coming from the az webapp list-runtimes command did not work for WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION, only the Kudu runtime versions worked for that environment variable.
Dominik over 5 years

@Benrobot this is not true. I was able to set WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION to 10.6.0 and it worked after testing it in the development console of the web app on the Azure Portal. So this should be the accepted answer.
Benrobot over 5 years

@Dominik, maybe there's a difference between how the app service is created. In my case I created the app from the portal and the runtime versions given by the az command did not work for me. Since they did work for you I will undo the down vote. EDIT: Site won't let me undo the downvote unless the answer is edited.
Dominik about 5 years

@Benrobot I have created the app service on the portal. I don't know exactly what is happening here, because if I look at the runtimes available in the file system of the web app, there is no 10.0 nor 10.6 but if I configure it through appsettings it works.

This gives nothing atm at least on ASE with Linux containers. an empty array: {"nodejs":[],"system":{"os_name":"Unix 4.4.0.128","os_build_lab_ex":"","cores":1}}
Ricardo Saracino almost 5 years

You need to use an exact version number so 10.1.0
MEMark about 4 years

Same thing still. 10.15.2 works great, but it's not listed.

That option doesn't exist under REST API anymore. ☹️
