Within a few videos that I watched from you, you have become my favourite tech youtuber. Your content is well-structures, concise and insightful. I love the practical yet deep insights you are giving on Next JS and adjacent technologies. Thanks!

Another great video. I think a lot of new developers are afraid to self-host, but they don't realize that learning Linux and Docker sets you up for the future. It's also helpful because PaaS vendors tend to raise prices and try to lock you in over time. Self hosting is wonderful, because you can take your Docker container to another host in minutes. Bare metal is bare metal, your container will work anywhere.

Hi Wesley, just wanted to drop a note to say that your react course is fantastic so far! I'm excited to get to the Next.js portion of the course! Thanks for all the great content!

[swastikpatel]

Really valuable knowledge, have been following you since a long time and you never disappont, really awesome content

[meal_team_six]

Wow! Never cease to amaze! By far the best tech youtuber. Sincerely appreciate your content. Keep up the good work!

[BilalAmin-vz]

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial, please consider deploying without docker in your next video. Best wishes!

[xelion]

well i'm already suffering with aws Amplify for 6 months and i wanna mention some stuff there security (ddos attacks for example) and scaling i don't know if i could manage VPSs very well at a large scale with zero down time, thanks for the video by the way 😊, and i would be glad if anyone could give me some suggestions.

[rinaldolanza]

Thank you very much for this wonderful summary and overview.

1:37 That was not a server action. You forget to add "use server" at the top, so it worked as normal server side function

[gsharrock]

hi, which video did you deploy without docker can't seem to find?

[joaoarthurbandeira]

Great video, as always! What if i have a separate backend, say in Django Rest Framework from my Nextjs Frontend, how could i do it? Could you show us how could we deploy them together and maybe also separately? Could we dockerize them together and deploy them on a self-hosting platform like hostinger/heroku? And, if separately, could it be something like the frontend in hostinger and the backend in heroku? Many thanks, you are truly one of the best, keep it up!

Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing! Is there any benefit of building the docker image locally over building it directly on the VPS on every push (triggered by a webhook / GH action)? This is how I used to do it, but I'm wondering now if I'm missing out on anything compared to your approach. Also, would be great if you could cover SSL auto renewal in another view… Thank you so much!

[marcusdillgen]

👋🏼Hey, another great video. I would like to see a more detailed look at the supported Next.js features. What about self-hosting on a VPS with middleware? i18n Routing is where I feel a bit lost so far. AWS Amplify for example does not support middleware with Next 14 yet. The ISR setup would also be interesting. Otherwise, as I said, great overview. Thanks

[algnadjib]

After building the app
Can you serve static pages from a CDN and dynamic pages from a dynamic server at the same time?

[Vagabondi]

Alright take my affiliation money, you deserved it

[calvincrane]

Thanks for the video. When doing a DNS setup for the ip address so you can use a TLD how do you do that with a port? TY

[guenhyoungpark]

Awesome tutorial! Does Docker Next.js deployment option support for using “edge-runtime” API when deployed on VPS? I heard it uses Cloudflare Workers API in the background.

[bluestar-on-yt]

You mentioned the hostinger vps is best for experienced devs but what do u reccommend for beginners on a budget for next. Js apps and websites?

[hausgaming]

I'm wondering how PPR would work with self-hosting? A static shell of a page generated build time would be served from a CDN close to the user, and stream the dynamic content on-demand from the server. Any idea how that would work?

[jitxhere]

11:10 correct me if I am wrong but does ISR works when self deploying???
I think its a platform feature
