Can I deploy next js to DigitalOcean?

Last updated on December 17, 2022 @ 3:15 pm

Deploying nextjs to DigitalOcean is a great way to get started with this powerful JavaScript development framework. Nextjs is fast, easy to use, and has a well-defined API.

You can deploy nextjs to DigitalOcean in just a few simple steps:

1. First, create a nextjs project on DigitalOcean. You can use the default Next.js project or create your own.

2. Next, add the nextjs dependencies to your project. You can use the following commands to install nextjs and its dependencies:

  • npm install nextjs –save

3. Next, create a Next.js file in your project. This file contains your Next.js application’s code. In this example, the Next.js file contains the following code:

  • var app = next();
  • app.run(function() {
  • console.log(‘Hello, world!’);});

4. Next, you need to create a DigitalOcean droplet to deploy your Next.js application to.

PRO TIP: There is no official support for Next.js on DigitalOcean and it is not recommended to deploy Next.js to DigitalOcean.

5. You can use the following command to create a droplet with Next.js enabled:

  • docker-compose up

6. Next, you need to deploy your Next.js application to your droplet.

7. You can use the following command to deploy your Next.js application to your droplet:

  • docker-compose deploy

8. Next, you can visit your Next.js application’s web server on port 3000.

9. You can use the following command to visit your Next.js application’s web server on port 3000:

  • http://localhost:3000

Congratulations, you have successfully deployed nextjs to DigitalOcean!
