@sawala/kodena

Deploy Cloudflare Worker bundles to Kodena from your terminal. Typically used to ship OpenNext-compiled Next.js apps, but works for any worker.js + assets bundle.

Install

Global:

npm i -g @sawala/kodena
kodena --version

One-off via npx:

npx @sawala/kodena --version

Requires Node ≥ 20.

Scaffold from a template

Don't have a project yet? Start from a curated Kodena template:

kodena template list               # see what's available
kodena init                        # pick one interactively + a target dir
kodena init landing-ssr ./my-site  # or scaffold a specific one non-interactively

cd my-site
npm install
kodena deploy --build              # the generated kodena.json is ready to deploy

kodena init downloads the chosen template's source from the public kodena-templates repo, writes it into the target directory, and generates a kodena.json so the very next kodena deploy works with no hand-editing. Omit the slug to choose from a list (the recommended template is pre-selected). Pass --ref <branch-or-tag> to scaffold from a specific version, --slug <name> to set the generated script slug, or --force to scaffold into a non-empty directory.

Only standalone templates (ones that deploy with no backend) are offered here. Templates that read content from a Kontena CMS project need that project provisioned first, so they're hidden from kodena init for now — they remain available through the hosted InstantPage site builder.

Quick start

cd path/to/your/next-app
kodena login                     # paste a CLI token from the dashboard
kodena org use <org-slug>        # if you belong to more than one org
kodena project use <project>    # pick the target project

# write a minimal kodena.json (see "Configuration" below):
echo '{"slug": "my-script"}' > kodena.json

npx @opennextjs/cloudflare build # produce .open-next/
kodena deploy

On success the CLI prints the live URL (https://<tenant>.kodena.id) and any custom hostname attached to the script.

Commands

| Command | What it does | | --- | --- | | kodena login | Prompt for a koda_… token, validate it against /me, and store credentials. Opens the dashboard in your browser by default; pass --no-browser to skip. | | kodena logout | Delete the local credentials file. Does not revoke the token server-side. | | kodena whoami | Print the identity, active org/project, token source, and token scope. | | kodena org list | List orgs you belong to. The active one is marked *. | | kodena org use <slug> | Set the active org. Validates membership before writing. | | kodena project list | List projects in the active org (first 100). | | kodena project use <slug> | Set the active project for the active org. | | kodena template list | List the starter templates you can scaffold with kodena init. | | kodena init [slug] [dir] | Scaffold a local project from a template (omit the slug to pick interactively). Generates a ready-to-deploy kodena.json. | | kodena deploy | Upload the bundle (worker.js + assets) described by kodena.json to the active org/project. Creates the script on first deploy. |

deploy flags

• --slug <name> — override kodena.json's script slug.
• --org <slug> / --project <slug> — one-shot override of the active context.
• --token <koda_…> — use this token instead of the stored one.
• --api-base <url> — override the API base URL.
• --var KEY=value — set a worker var. Repeatable; merges with vars in kodena.json.
• --compat-flag <flag> — nodejs_compat or nodejs_als. Repeatable.
• --compat-date <YYYY-MM-DD> — compatibility date.
• --build / --no-build — run (or skip) kodena.json's build.command before uploading. Default npx @opennextjs/cloudflare build.
• --dry-run — do everything up to the upload, then print a bundle summary.

Configuration

kodena.json (per project)

The CLI walks up from the current directory looking for kodena.json (or kodena.config.json). Minimal form:

{
  "slug": "my-script"
}

Full schema:

{
  "slug": "my-script",                         // required: Cloudflare script slug
  "name": "My script",                         // optional display name (≤ 64 chars)
  "project": "my-project",                     // optional: bind to a project slug
  "build": {
    "command": "npx @opennextjs/cloudflare build",
    "outputDir": ".open-next",                 // default
    "workerEntry": ".open-next/worker.js",     // default
    "assetsDir": ".open-next/assets",          // default
    "runByDefault": false                      // if true, `kodena deploy` builds first
  },
  "vars": { "MY_KEY": "value" },               // KEYS must match /^[A-Z][A-Z0-9_]*$/
  "compatibilityFlags": ["nodejs_compat"],
  "compatibilityDate": "2025-01-01"
}

Local state

The CLI stores state under ~/.kodena/ (override with KODENA_CONFIG_DIR):

• ~/.kodena/credentials — token + API base. Written atomically with mode 0600.
• ~/.kodena/config — activeOrg and activeProject. Mode 0644.

Environment variables

• KODENA_API_BASE — override the API base URL (default https://api.sawala.cloud).
• KODENA_PROJECT — override the active project for a single command.
• KODENA_CONFIG_DIR — relocate the credentials + config directory.
