Next.js

This is an example of how to set up a static site with Next.js on Kinsta’s Static Site Hosting services from a GitHub repository.

Next.js is the React Framework for the Web. More information is available on the nextjs.org website.

You can also use this quick start template on Kinsta’s Application Hosting without any additional configuration. If you use Application Hosting, theStart command can be left blank for the web process as Kinsta automatically detects the required command during the first deployment.

During the deployment process, Kinsta automatically installs dependencies defined in your package.json file.

1. Log in to GitHub and create a new repository from this template (Use this template > Create a new repository): Kinsta – Hello World – Static Site With Next.js
2. In MyKinsta, add a static site with the Hello World Next.js repository. The Build settings may auto-populate; check that they match the following and change them if necessary:
   • Build command: npm run build
   • Node version: 16.20.0
   • Publish directory: out
3. The site is available as soon as the build finishes, and the default Next.js page loads at your site’s URL.

Deployment Lifecycle

Whenever a deployment is initiated (through creating a static site or re-deploying due to an incoming commit), the build command is run, followed by the deployment of the Publish Directory content.
