denoland/deno_docker

This repo provides ready-to-use Docker images for Deno, a modern JavaScript and TypeScript runtime. In practical terms, it lets you run Deno applications inside containers without having to manually install Deno or worry about the underlying operating system. You just pull an image and go. The project offers several base operating systems to choose from, including Alpine, Debian, Ubuntu, and a minimal "distroless" option. There is also a "bin" image that contains only the Deno binary, useful if you want to add Deno into an existing custom image. The README walks through common scenarios: running a local script, starting an interactive session, or writing a Dockerfile that builds a deployable container for your app. It also includes a tip for running Deno on Google Cloud Run, where you need to adjust a caching path so dependencies download properly. The audience here is anyone who wants to containerize a Deno application. For example, if you are a developer shipping a web server written in Deno, you can base your Dockerfile on one of these images, copy in your code, and produce a container that runs identically on your laptop and in production. A team lead or DevOps person might appreciate the prebuilt images because they remove the guesswork of installing Deno from scratch. Someone who just wants to experiment with Deno without installing it on their machine can use these images as a quick sandbox. One nice touch is that the images default to running as a non-root user called "deno," which is a good security practice for production containers. The README also shows how to cache dependencies as a separate layer in your Dockerfile, which speeds up rebuilds when only your source code changes. These details make the images practical for real-world deployments, not just quick experiments.
