Deploy and run EmDash CMS sites on Cloudflare Workers

What it does

A field-tested procedure for running the Astro-based EmDash CMS on Cloudflare Workers (D1, R2, KV).

• Create a site from the official templates and deploy with wrangler deploy (D1/R2/KV auto-provisioned)
• Validate seed/seed.json against a throwaway SQLite database
• Attach custom domains and switch the site URL safely
• Upgrade EmDash / Astro with before/after URL checks
• Diagnose HTTP 503 and Cloudflare error 1102 (CPU limit exceeded)

How to use

Ask "create a new EmDash site on Cloudflare" or "why does the admin API return 1102?"; the agent follows the skill and references/.

CI=1 node node_modules/astro/bin/astro.mjs build < /dev/null
CI=1 node node_modules/wrangler/bin/wrangler.js deploy < /dev/null

Requirements

• A Cloudflare account with Workers, D1 and R2
• Node.js, wrangler, git (GitHub CLI recommended)

Notes

• Passkey creation, OAuth approval, billing changes and domain purchases are always done by a human; the agent stops before them.
• Deployment, setup and content launch are reported separately; only fetched-back results count as done.
• Check official docs for current prices and limits.
