Walrus Sites Deploy CLI

Deploys a folder to Walrus Sites seamlessly.

Uses CLI tools provided by Suibase.

Unique Features

Why it's better than the native Walrus site-builder script:

• No additional configuration needed (thanks to Suibase).
• Stores the published site object ID in an environment file.
• Allows to swap SUI for WAL to fund the deployment if necessary.
• Allows to override already deployed files if necessary.

Prerequisites

• Suibase
• Node.js

Usage

Make sure you started testnet or mainnet locally:

testnet start
# or
mainnet start

To get current deployer address:

tsui client active-address
# or
msui client active-address

To get current deployer address balance:

tsui client balance
# or
msui client balance

Refer to the Suibase docs for more commands.

Finally, to deploy the site:

pnpx walrus-sites-deploy
pnpx walrus-sites-deploy ./dist
pnpx walrus-sites-deploy ./dist -n testnet
pnpx walrus-sites-deploy ./dist -n testnet -o ./.env.local
pnpx walrus-sites-deploy ./dist -n testnet -o ./.env.local -e 1
pnpx walrus-sites-deploy ./dist -n testnet -o ./.env.local -e 1 -b
pnpx walrus-sites-deploy ./dist -n testnet -o ./.env.local -e 1 -b -f

Parameters
