We recommend deploying to Vercel. It makes it super easy to deploy NextJs apps.
- Push your code to a GitHub repository.
- Go to Vercel and sign up with GitHub.
- Create a Project and import the repository you pushed your code to.
- Add your environment variables.
- Click Deploy
- Now whenever you push a change to your repository, Vercel will automatically redeploy your website!
You can also dockerize this stack and deploy a container.
-
In your next.config.mjs, add the
output: "standalone"
option to your config. -
Create a
.dockerignore
file with the following contents:.dockerignore
Dockerfile .dockerignore node_modules npm-debug.log README.md .next .git
-
Create a
Dockerfile
with the following contents:Dockerfile
# Install dependencies only when needed FROM node:16-alpine AS deps # Check https://github.com/nodejs/docker-node/tree/b4117f9333da4138b03a546ec926ef50a31506c3#nodealpine to understand why libc6-compat might be needed.

- You can now build an image to deploy yourself, or use a PaaS such as Railway's automated Dockerfile deployments to deploy your app.
