Finally someone cares about it
Most of my short career has been spent working on PHP and WordPress projects so I’ve had a lot of experience setting up server environments for those, but it’s really great seeing how this process can work for a Next.js project, which is pretty much synonymous with Vercel. Good to see I’m not completely stuck on vercel just because I wanted to use next.js. Great and instructive video.
Sonny, Thank you so much brother. This was a huge part of the missing link that was so close to putting me off to node.js applications. I have own and run my own hosting servers, owned 3 hosting companies, trained and built over 300, but all before the time of Node.js. I could not get things working. I am not following all your processes found in this video, including programming remotely now, but with one modification. I am using Nginx Proxy Manager to manage my Nginx proxy and SSL certificates, with ability to control websockets and Access from one admin panel. It is very very fast. So now I have a complete solution and I am back to loving working with Node.js and Next.js
A video on how to setup auto deployment on a custom server would be awesome. So our app gets build on the server automatically with the latest changes to branch x on git.

This tutorial video is GOLD! Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much. I was dealing with the issue of hosting my website on VPS. Now I can easily do that.
Thank you so so much for this video! This is the explanation of the missing link in the chain. As a self-educator I was desperately searching for exactly this.
Im so glad it could help!
As a senior software engineer, I know all of these, yet still watched and enjoyed every second of it, kudos to you 🥳
Excellent demonstration! This has cleared up so much for me. Thank!!
Wow. This video is sooo helpful. I covered all information i want to know. Thank you!
Thanks Sunny ! The pdf you've given in the description really helps.
Im glad it could help!
Thanks man! It was very helpful!
Thank you very much brother. This video really helped me alot.
Hey man! I really enjoyed your videos. I'm currently looking into implementing multi-tenancy (wildcard subdomains). I've read the Vercel documentation and cloned Steves Tey's platform starter kit, but I'm still having trouble understanding the concepts. Would you be able to create a video on this topic that is more beginner-friendly? I'm particularly interested in learning how to use the new Next.js app route feature.
It was very helpful for me. Big Like!
Iv been waiting for this for sooo long
Thank you for such great content. That's exactly the alternative I was looking for. Oh and by the way, totally unrelated... but that fade hair cut is sick!!
It would be awesome if you Sonny can make a small guide of managing Nodejs apps (like Nextjs) in a VPS (like hostinger's). Cause sometimes it's really hard to find some relevant information like yours, thanks a lot.
Awesome video, specially the last part where you actually runs in localhost, this will make my work A LOT faster! Huge thanks
Is it possible to integrate this flow with github? E.g. to have production app on main branch and staging app on develop branch? And when branch is updated then app on the servee also updates?
If I understand you right, you forwarded all requests for your web app to the node server, including requests for images, css etc.?
Hey Sonny, thanks for the tutorial, very neat and easy to follow! Do you mind sharing what screen recorder software you use? Trying making a few videos for workplace and almost none of them work for me when I'm trying to embed my webcam inside the video in real-time! Thanks
Very much appreciated.
Thanks you Sonny ! Please make more videos like this ! How can i do if i want to publish more than one site using next ??
Been waiting for these.. Had been deploying my apps to a vps but wanted someone to share latest standards on how to do it esp auto deploys with web hooks or something
Thanks for this video. I want a video for ssl conf. Thanks in advance 🤜
Super content. Thanks !
Amazing, Thank you
2 words => Merci Sonny ! 😎
Very beginner friendly guide. Please do the SSL setup video!
I have a question when I do VPS do I lose the functionality of features such as middleware and API routes? Its kinda of a dumb question seeing as you are using app router. Its just that I may need to do this exact thing to host a PWA Next.js 13 app that Im doing. Great video, you gave me a solution!
Thanks for the bonus with remote - ssh . It’s really awesome
Thanks a lot. Please teach us load balancing and ssl and dns
Very useful. Subbed.
Hi Sonny! I was wondering if you have any advice about setting up an SSL Certificate in a VPS environment?
This is so beautiful. What if there is an error and I don't want users to see it yet until it's fixed, how do I do that since I'm working directly to the project folder from my remote vscode?
❤ u got your self a new sub with a bench of likes , thank you bro
thanks bro
Cool from an old grand daddy : i love your Channel.😊
Sonny! You're raising the top level of education available to us Your videos are enlightening to us and providing new knowledge thanks bro🙂 my English is not Soo good but I hope you under stand
As a Sr. frontend developer, I already have the above but still enjoyed watching on 2x speed 😅, also it will be great to make the ssh for it too
bro I need with external api like python or node js to integrate with nextjs on Login apis
The Best #papareact 🔥🔥🔥
GOOD JOB!
As a complete beginner to hosting, how safe is this? Like would I be able to create a nextjs app that i know is safe if i was to host it on vercel and be able to host it on a vps or do i need to take extra security measures? and is the process the same on other hosting websites that let you create a vps?
I don't write comments at videos at all, but this one is such a good video with grained explanation and showcase. Thank you very much!!! (And doc btw is very useful)
Thank you so much!!!
bro thanks you
Big love sony sir ❤❤
Hi broo..Enjoyed and totally loved it❤ Please bring SSL certification video
Great! how can you use Deferent node version my various app?
Hey Sonny, you are the one who taught me ReactJs, which opened up the path for my career and startup. Wish you all the best.
This is awesome to deploy to custom server, lots of nextjs devs are searching for ... But a Major question here. Will app router middlewares and api route in nextjs work with this way????? Thanks
Hello my friend, I am following you and I want advice from you. I am a front-end developer and I use next js and I have worked on actual projects and I want to start in the back-end field. You advise me to start with C# or Javascript framework and work. I am very confused. Please help me. From your point of view, what is best?
I hope you will create tutorial how to do the same with docker images and github repo
Need your guide on ssh for this one ❤
Hello, my backend is PHP. Can I install PHP on Ngix? Can you make a video on how a Next.js app would work with PHP?
can you deploy a nodejs server on it as well?
Any resources on maintaining serverless api inside VPS?
after deploying next.js e.commerce plateform in hostinger, does it have bills to pay like vercel, cause i've watched a lot of people complaining about the hight bills to pay in vercel and now i'm afraid that this happens too in hostinger, so can anyone lead me to what is the best buisness plan to choose and what are the do's and dont's that i must to have in mind ????
Thank you for this video! I would like you to explain more about deploy. This topic is quite tricky for a not backender. Perhaps making a clone of functionality of vercel (connecting git to server) on this channel can collect a million of likes
Can we do it in simple website hosting plan?
I have purchased kvm2 hosting. and complete initial setups. how can i upload my nextjs project now. i want to deploy via github.
Thank you so much for this guide, it was very helpful! Do you mind if I create my own guide on how to deploy Next.js app to Google Cloud VM on free tier using the knowledge that I got from this video? I think it will be beneficial for the dev community 🙂
This is gold bruh gold👏🏾 goin make shmoneyyy with this
Glad you liked it!
Sonny - Amazing... Just need SSL and how to forward my domain I purchased From GoDaddy to my IP address, or instructions where to do so! Thank you so much
Did this with Certbot and forwarded my domain with A method - sorted
Wow. Why does such an amazing video have just this many likes?
We will grow don’t worry 🙏🏽 thank you so much for the support!!
How can i connect my custom domain to deployed next.js app to specific IPAddress ?
Great video, but I have a couple questions I'm hoping someone can help me out with. 1.) How do you deploy a Nextjs project that I've created that is on my desktop or on GitHub? Sonny only shows how to upload a newly created project. 2.) I followed Sonny's example and it worked perfectly. However, where is the project stored? I cannot find it using the CloudPanel GUI. It is not located under the "Sites" tab, so I'm not sure where I could go to access it. Thank you to anyone that is able to help me. I really appreciate it.
Can I use putty on windows 10 to connect with server.
or can one create an nginx server for a subdomain because the entire vps is built on apache server
Would love to see a self-hosted github runner + monorepo project
Hello, I bought a virtual server with 3 cores and 2GB of RAM, and I uploaded a very simple Next project to it. Inside this project, I installed the libraries `react-icon`, `react-toastify`, `next-auth`, and `tailwind`. Then, when I tried to build the project on the server, it me an error about unsupported CPU and said it couldn't do it. I want to know, is Next.js really that heavy that it can't even build a medium or small-scale project on such a server? Can you guide me and tell me if using Docker would make a? Please explain.
Sir ck you create videk for use ssl on this video?
please make tutorial for deploy next js 13 with app router in cPanel.
Awesome, how do you do this but have it auto deploy from github? same setup, just auto deploy?
In Vercel dashboard you can connect your GitHub in the integrations panel, once you do this pushing to master/main can trigger a deployment! Hope this helps!!
@@SonnySangha I mean the VPS, not Vercel
There is no way to generate a statci/dist/out folder with all the javascript/css/html and upload this folder in the vps instead of upload the whole app . i mean like we do using vite ??
works with cyberpanel?
Fyi, NGINX is pronounced like "engine x".
is this only possible by paying? I got a hostinger domain and hosting because youtubers told me to, while i was building nextjs apps, and then i pay for it and find out i can't host nextjs apps, and i have to pay for a vps now? super frustrated. is there a free option?
warp is not available for windows, please, recommend any other terminal for this setup
Please, ur livestream setup 🙏
supper cool about nginx because i have the same kvm2 and every thing same ... now just need to attach it with domain name and with subdomain tooo so plz create video for that ... or if u have already then drop link here plz
production build?
Engine X*
Not gonna lie, I LOLed.
Let's do it.
Great tutorial, but I dont like remote coding.... You can work locally, commit and push changes on git, and then pull changes and rebuild the app
hey sonny I want ci/cd pipline for this server
How do I add images in the public folder of the app? Can anyone help me on this please.
Please, what about it apache configuration.
The sharpest eye brows in software engineering
Haha I love this!
This seems quite complicated, can't I just host the app on my own hosting where I put my regular web pages?
Hey sonny please make a mern stack cart project with reudx toolkit and node api . im beeginer now so help me 😪
Hello sunny thanks brother, can you please suggest how to deploy the nestjs typeorm nodejs dackend on aws please.
Sonny sir plz make React native Full Stack Projects series plz sir we need React native Stuff
Do I get this right? You are entering your root password on a third party terminal emulation website? Are there any security concerns?
Remove everything except “next” folder from node_module, to save storage
