FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy a Next.js SSR app to smbCloud using rsync and PM2?▼

Configure Next.js standalone output and smbCloud config.toml with kind = "nextjs-ssr". The workflow rsyncs .next/standalone, static, and public assets, restarts PM2 over SSH, and proxies traffic through Nginx.

What is the nextjs-ssr deployment flow for Next.js standalone builds?▼

The nextjs-ssr flow builds a standalone bundle locally, transfers .next/standalone, static, and public assets via rsync, restarts PM2 over SSH, and routes production traffic through an Nginx reverse proxy.

Do I need output standalone in Next.js to deploy with smbCloud?▼

Yes, output: "standalone" is required. The deployment workflow depends on a standalone Next.js build to correctly transfer .next/standalone, .next/static, and public assets via rsync to the remote server.

What smbCloud config.toml settings are required for Next.js deployment?▼

The config.toml must set kind = "nextjs-ssr", source, path, pm2_app, and deployment_method. These fields configure the rsync transfer, PM2 restart over SSH, and Nginx reverse proxy setup.

Why is Nginx used as a reverse proxy for Next.js PM2 deployments?▼

Nginx routes production traffic to the local PM2 process. After rsync transfers standalone assets and PM2 restarts the Next.js app, Nginx serves as a reverse proxy to handle incoming requests.
