Document how to compile a Fresh site into an executable

With Deno 2.1.0, we can now compile assets directly into the executable. This means we should be able to ship a Deno Fresh (Application) as a single binary.

I've tried this, and it fails to load some of the assets at runtime. I'm not sure if this is just a documentation issue, or if something within Fresh needs to be adjusted to handle asset locations. Here is what I did:

  1. deno --version (deno 2.1.1 (stable, release, aarch64-apple-darwin)
  2. deno run -A -r https://fresh.deno.dev fresh-site (answered Y to all questions)
  3. cd fresh-site
  4. deno task build

There are a few options here:
5. deno compile --include static/ --include _fresh/ --include deno.json --include fresh.gen.ts -A dev.ts
6. ./dev

This fails with:

error: Uncaught (in promise) NotSupported: writefile '/var/folders/0v/jhqzvwhx345fsngdr12f6zg00000gn/T/deno-compile-dev/fresh-site/fresh.gen.ts': writefile '/var/folders/0v/jhqzvwhx345fsngdr12f6zg00000gn/T/deno-compile-dev/fresh-site/fresh.gen.ts'

We could also try and compile the main.ts
5. deno compile --include static/ --include _fresh/ --include deno.json --include fresh.gen.ts -A main.ts
6. ./fresh-site

This starts the Fresh application:

 $ ./fresh-site
 
Using snapshot found at /var/folders/0v/jhqzvwhx345fsngdr12f6zg00000gn/T/deno-compile-fresh-site/fresh-site/_fresh

 🍋 Fresh ready
    Local: http://localhost:8000/

But assets fail to load when rendering this site.

Are there other assets that need to be included? Other suggestions?

I believe this issue has been fixed in Deno v2.1.2.

I've just run some tests and it seems to be fixed. Thank you @chibat & and to the Deno & Fresh team. Now I'm ready to use it for a production system.
