How to run deno on own host

[andriiradkevych]

As I see from doc https://fresh.deno.dev/docs/getting-started/deploy-to-production , you propose to deploy deno by Deno Deploy , but what if I want to set deno on my own host , by starting my app in production mod , how can i make it ?

deno run -A main.ts

But I'm not sure is it what I need to make it work in best way .. Also I see there is no build step , is it build code so fast that you say there is no build , or there is build on the fly ?

I have not playing with self-hosting myself, but you could maybe run something like Supervisor, pm2 or something similar to execute your command and ensure restart on crash.

Personally, I tend to go more for Docker, but the setup might be harder if you are not familiar with it.

From my understanding, there is no build step as running deno run -A main.ts on your server will work without you doing any process beforehand, the only thing generated is the fresh.gen.ts which is just mapping out resources for your application to run but that's about it.
