workerbox

Small selfhosted environment to deploy Service Worker-like functions similar to Cloudflare Workers and Deno Deploy.

Goals:

• Have common functionality: deploy multiple workers via a compatible API, get a route
• Be simple: self-contained with no complicated configuration
• For personal use: no load balancing, not "web scale", no performance guarantees

Quickstart

# Install workerbox
deno install -qAf --unstable https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cschomburg/workerbox/master/workerbox.ts

# Run the server
workerbox serve

# Publish a worker
cd examples/hello-world
workerbox publish hello-world ./worker.js

Environment variables

• WORKERBOX_ADDR=0.0.0.0:8000: server listen address
• WORKERBOX_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000: server for client to connect to
• WORKERBOX_DOMAIN=workers.local: wildcard domain to use for worker routes
• WORKERBOX_DB=./workerbox.db: path to database file

Roadmap

• publish/update a worker script
• rudimentary routing
• commandline client
• persistence via SQLite
• manage secret variables
• KV storage
• manage routes
• WASM WASI support
• external runners / routers
• rewrite everything in Rust
