How to deploy NextJS with NGINX?
Deploying a Next.js application to NGINX involves several key steps, primarily including building the application, configuring NGINX, and maintenance and monitoring. Here are the detailed steps:1. Building the Next.js ApplicationFirst, ensure that your Next.js application has been developed and can run locally. Next, execute the build command to prepare the application for production.This command creates a folder containing optimized files for production.2. Preparing the Production ServerInstalling Node.js: Ensure that your production server has Node.js installed, as Next.js is a Node.js framework.Installing PM2: It is recommended to use PM2 to manage your Node.js application, as it helps manage logs, monitor the application, and automatically restart it after crashes.Starting the Application with PM2:3. Configuring NGINXInstalling NGINX: Ensure that NGINX is installed on the server.Configuring Reverse Proxy: Edit the NGINX configuration file (typically located at ), setting up a reverse proxy to forward requests from NGINX to your Next.js application.Restarting NGINX:4. Maintenance and MonitoringMonitoring the Application: Use PM2's monitoring features to view the application's performance and logs.SSL Configuration: For security, it is recommended to configure SSL for your website using Let's Encrypt.These steps cover the entire process from application building to deployment, ensuring stable operation in the production environment.
