No worries, I come from a .net environment myself. 
As for the App Service, I realized that I set up Postgres and Elasticsearch 
separately, that is why I was able to use the Single Container approach 
(see below for future reference). 

I just remembered I wasn't able to get the docker-compose approach working 
in the App Service.
If you like to give it another try, you could remove the nginx service from 
your docker-compose.yml.
Then add a port mapping on your arches service in your docker-compose.yml 
from 80 on the host (App Service) to 8000 on the container:
Change:
ports:
- '8000:8000'
To:
ports:
- '80:8000'

Also be sure to set the DOMAIN_NAMES setting in your docker-compose.yml to 
the address of your web app.

Finally, you may try removing the couchdb service from your 
docker-compose.yml, as this db is not (yet) used by arches at the moment 
(saves some resources). 
Be sure to *keep* the couchdb environment variables in your Arches service 
though (their values don't matter, but they are expected to be present). 


Here is some background info that might be 
useful:

*Single Container *approach
For the Single Container approach you wouldn't use a compose file at all, 
but that is assuming you run Postgres and Elasticsearch elsewhere.
- On the App Service blade, select Container Settings (step 1 in the 
screenshot below).
- Select 'Single Container' (step 2)
- Configure that page, ie. select the right image etc.
- Go to 'Application Settings' (step 3 on screenshot) and fill out all 
environment variables you have in your docker-compose.yml as individual app 
settings
