Deno

Deploy Nitro apps to Deno Deploy.

Deno Deploy

Preset: deno-deploy (switch to this preset)

Deploy with the CLI

You can use deployctl to deploy your app.

Login to Deno Deploy to obtain a DENO_DEPLOY_TOKEN access token, and set it as an environment variable.

# Build with the deno-deploy NITRO preset
NITRO_PRESET=deno-deploy npm run build

# Make sure to run the deployctl command from the output directory
cd .output
deployctl deploy --project=my-project server/index.ts

Deploy within CI/CD using GitHub Actions

You just need to include the deployctl GitHub Action as a step in your workflow.

You do not need to set up any secrets for this to work. You do need to link your GitHub repository to your Deno Deploy project and choose the "GitHub Actions" deployment mode. You can do this in your project settings on https://dash.deno.com.

Create .github/workflows/deno-deploy.yml:

name: deno-deploy

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  deploy:
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - run: corepack enable
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: 18
          cache: pnpm
      - run: pnpm install
      - run: pnpm build
        env:
          NITRO_PRESET: deno-deploy
      - name: Deploy to Deno Deploy
        uses: denoland/deployctl@v1
        with:
          project: my-project
          entrypoint: server/index.ts
          root: .output

Deno Server (Runtime)

Preset: deno-server (switch to this preset)

You can build your Nitro server using Node.js to run within Deno Runtime in a custom server.

# Build with the deno NITRO preset
NITRO_PRESET=deno-server npm run build

# Start production server
deno run --unstable --allow-net --allow-read --allow-env .output/server/index.ts
