Great Video. I have deployed several NextJS container and it’s all fun and games until the container is behind a Proxy. For some reason NextJS 14 ignores env variables like HTTP_PROXY that node typically can handle. NextJS then is not able to send requests to services outside that proxy network like Auth providers. Do you know how set proxy variables to NextJS so the app can pass proxy’s?

Need a postgres + next.js + docker + VPS deployment workthrough video!

What i like more about your videos your calm voice while explaining.

[VishalSharma-lspq]

very very informative video..learnt so much in just 25 mins..awesome

[not_a_human_being]

great tutorial about going live with next/pg app in Vercel!

[ShahNawaz-ojxt]

Loved the tips on hot reload on Docker. Can you please make more videos on docker and kubernetes? Thanks!

[netTraverser]

I don't know if this qualifies as being out of the scope of what you typically put out, but can you do a full on tutorial of docker? If it isn't too much to ask for

If I want to use docker compose to create containers for nextjs and postgre in the same time I build because I have problem about after build docker compose not connect to database. Can someone help me or show the example for me pls. Thank you

[andrejkling]

Good video. Thank you. Using orm for real production it’s not good practice …

[sandzz]

Very well made tutorial. I am looking for a stack for my side project. So I can use vercel for the edge compute. but my postgresql will sit in 1 region only. So there is no point using edge compute for my nextjs app at all, because the responses will get delayed due to DB query anyway. Is there a good cheap way to handle db latency?

I had a error from bcryptjs, When i dockerize my nextjs 14 nextauth app. Is there any alternative for bcryptjs

Do you think Drizzle is better than Prisma?

[doob]

thank you for the video! I was looking for a docker nextjs postgres video with prisma 😊

[dianab]

Is Prisma or Drizzle ORM required as database to be part of my tech stack if I use Next.js? If so, why is this option better than the regular database connection setup? And is Neon or Planetscale necessary when using ORM's?

[academyonnet]

Did I miss the timestamp where you explained why I would need a docker if I can develop on my local machine, push it to git and from there I can deploy it on Vercel?

[haiffy]

Would be nice if you publish this as a starter in GitHub

[Devlou]

I'm a Front-end Developer. I learn SQL in High School. I want to learn Next.js. Should I learn Algorithm & Data Structures first or just GO for Next.js ?? Please Help

[maksymdudyk]

I would be so nice of you, Wesley, if you could provide your true subscribers a link to github repo's codebase for this video.

[lostinthenarrativve]

do I need to learn SQL before postgres or I can just jump in ?

[MatanPresberg]

I would love a tutorial on how to deploy postgres and next js in the same docker-compose instead of using Vercel storage. I have it set up, but I keep getting database connection errors because the build step of the next js app requires access to the database
