Deploying to Deno Deploy

This guide walks you through deploying a Discord bot built with Dressed to Deno Deploy.

Deploying is the last step in building your bot, it will be where Discord can send interactions and events even when you're not developing it.

Configuration

To get Dressed working, all you need to do is:

  1. Add deno -A npm:dressed build -i to the build command
  2. Set .dressed/index.js as the entrypoint

Environment variables

If you are creating a new project, you will need to upload your environment variables to be used by the bot. To add your env vars, go to your project settings and click the edit button in the Environment Variables section.

Tip

If you are using @dressed/react, Deno will fail to install it, this can be fixed by changing the install command to use a different package manager, e.g. Bun or pnpm

Upload

You now can upload it to Deno Deploy however you like, either through linking to GitHub, or using the CLI:

deno run -A jsr:@deno/deployctl deploy

Your bot should now be accessible at <project>.<user>.deno.net.
