Deno Deployment Template for OpenClaw

Deno's security model and TypeScript support make it interesting for OpenClaw. Modern runtime with native web standards.

A Deno template for OpenClaw deployments. Deno offers TypeScript support without a build step and a security-first model.

Why Deno

  • Native TypeScript: No build step
  • Security-first: Explicit permissions for file/network access
  • Modern standards: Uses web platform APIs (fetch, Response, Request)
  • Single executable: No node_modules

Quick Start

npx degit openclaw/deno-template my-deno-bot
cd my-deno-bot
deno run --allow-net --allow-env src/index.ts
fly launch && fly deploy

Fly.io Deployment

Deno Deploy is Fly.io's native Deno platform. The template includes deno.json for Deno Deploy compatibility.

Caveats

Deno's npm compatibility is improving but some npm packages don't work. Check compatibility before choosing Deno.
