deployd: Self-Hosted Edge Runtime

Self-hosted version of Deno Deploy. Runs serverless functions and full Javascript/Typescript applications with production-grade sandboxing and performance using Firecracker VMs.

Quick Start

docker run -it -p 8080:8080 --privileged ghcr.io/denoland/deployd
docker run -it -p 8080:8080 --privileged ghcr.io/denoland/deployd --help

Operation

• JavaScript/TypeScript code runs in isolated Firecracker VMs
• Deployments managed via app.deno.com or deno deploy command
• S3 integration for deployment artifact storage

Deploying applications

Deploy applications by:

• Linking GitHub repositories via app.deno.com
• Creating playgrounds on app.deno.com
• Using deno deploy command in your project (requires Deno 2.4.1+)

On first run, deployd displays registration steps for your Deno Deploy account.

Storage

Deployments can be stored in three ways:

• S3 Storage (recommended for production): Set AWS credentials and specify bucket with --s3-bucket flag
• Local Storage: Mount /data directory to persist deployments locally
• Ephemeral Storage (default): Deployments stored in memory, lost when container stops

Configuration

Storage configuration:

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID                 # S3 access key
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY             # S3 secret key  
S3_ENDPOINT                       # Optional S3-compatible endpoint
--s3-bucket=<bucket>              # S3 bucket name

Performance tuning:

--isolate-threads=<n>             # Number of isolate threads
                                  # (auto-detected if unspecified, min 8)

Usage

Basic usage

docker run -it -p 8080:8080 --privileged ghcr.io/denoland/deployd

Alternative without --privileged:

docker run -it -p 8080:8080 --cap-add CAP_SYS_ADMIN --device /dev/net/tun ghcr.io/denoland/deployd

With S3 storage:

docker run -it -p 8080:8080 --privileged \
  -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your_key \
  -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your_secret \
  ghcr.io/denoland/deployd --s3-bucket=your-bucket

With local storage:

docker run -it -p 8080:8080 -v /path/to/data:/data --privileged ghcr.io/denoland/deployd

With custom thread count:

docker run -it -p 8080:8080 --privileged ghcr.io/denoland/deployd --isolate-threads=16

Requirements

• Docker with privileged mode, or CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability and tun device
• Port 8080 available for web interface
• For S3 storage: valid AWS credentials or S3-compatible storage access
