Run remote Fresh application code locally.

Is it possible to run a remotely hosted Fresh application? E.g. I'm attempting to do deno run -A https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cknight/dev-tools/main/main.ts but this isn't working as the deno.json file isn't loading and so the import map isn't either. I've also tried using the --config flag, but it only seems to support local files. I'm guessing to support this I would need to rework the application to remove the deno.json file? Use case: I have an application which processes sensitive data. It's best if the use runs this on their own machine, rather than a centrally hosted instance. While the user could clone the repo and run deno task start, a single (albeit, long) command line to run the application locally is attractive.

Remote config files are an open issue. I'd really love to get that one solved.

I've used a copyable Deno install command in the readme.md, and have the user install from there. At that point the user just runs the command.

For Pyro I have this install script: https://github.com/lino-levan/pyro/blob/main/install.ts which is definitely a hack This could all be a lot better if --config supported remote configs

In my Hot dev server readme, i have

Usage
To install a local copy, enter:

deno install -n hot -A --unstable https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nhrones/Hot/master/server.ts 
Then, in a terminal in the root of your project, just enter hot to run this service.

Sounds like an easy enhancement. I'll have a search for the issue. Thanks!

Especially when using a remote main module, it can be very beneficial to support a remote --config/-c file, especially when you want a one liner without pre-installing anything locally.

Ha, I said literally the same thing in the issue.

cknightOP•16mo ago

Haha, that's awesome and love the comment 👍 I've not used the install command before. Will it work if the project has a remote deno.jsonfile?

ioB•16mo ago

Ideally --config works with both install and run (they don't work if it's a remote file)

Fifth-Normal-Form•16mo ago

Not sure. I don't use deno.json. Ask Lino. It's a very convenient way to have user install tools/utilities. I've used two installs for utils; one with --reload, and one without, so you can refresh the install if needed.

cknightOP•16mo ago

Yeah, I think we need Lino's awesome hack to make this work with install. Thanks both.
