zeit/pkg does not seem very active. nexe/nexe or Docker could be alternatives

Docker would be a complete new approach. It would make easier installation and updates (assuming Docker is already installed...). This would need an image file for instances with no access to internet.

It is easy to write a Dockerfile to create an image with OIBus inside it. And we could use docker save to save the image to an archive, transfer it to the production machine and load it with docker load.

In fact, if the oibus server has no access to internet, the installation of docker itself is not very easy. Anyway, for now, pkg as a Windows service is working and simple so we have no reason to spend time on this now.

Urgent to wait ! Platforms such as Deno including natively bundling may push Nodejs to evolve into that direction as well.

let's migrate to deno!

pkg is now deprecated. I've switched to this fork which support node20.

We should probably move from pkg to Single executable applications when the feature is ready in NodeJS ecosystem
