Deploy a Next.js app to Miget in a few minutes. Miget auto-detects Node.js from your package.json, installs dependencies, builds, and serves your app on a public URL.

​
Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have:
  • A Miget account.
  • Git installed locally and your app in a Git repository.
  • A Next.js app with a package.json.
Your package.json scripts must include a build and start command so the buildpack can detect and run your app:
package.json
{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "next build",
    "start": "next start"
  }
}
Every app on Miget must listen on 0.0.0.0:5000. Miget sets an immutable PORT=5000 environment variable, and public ingress only reaches port 5000. next start respects the PORT env var, so it binds to 5000 automatically - you don’t need to configure anything. See Ports for details.

​
Deploy

1

Create an application

Go to app.miget.com, select New, then Application. Give your app a name, select the resource it should run in, and select Next.
2

Choose the builder

Select Auto detection (Miget Buildpacks) as the builder, pick a size, then select Next. Miget will detect Node.js from your package.json.
3

Select the deployment method

Select git push, then Create. Copy the git token shown - you’ll need it to authenticate your push.
4

Push your code

Add the Miget remote and push. Replace <region>, <your-miget-name>, and <app-name> with your own values:
git remote add miget https://git.<region>.miget.io/<your-miget-name>/<app-name>
git push miget
Miget detects Node from your package.json, installs dependencies, runs next build, starts your app with next start, and deploys it to a public URL.
This guide uses git push, but it’s one of several ways to deploy. You can also connect a GitHub repository for auto-deploys and pull request previews, deploy from a public Git repository, or push a prebuilt container image. See all deployment methods.

​
Add a database (optional)

Need persistent storage? Add a PostgreSQL database to your app:
  1. Open your app’s Addons tab.
  2. Add a PostgreSQL addon.
Miget automatically injects a DATABASE_URL environment variable (a postgres://... connection string) into your app. Read it in your code: 
const connectionString = process.env.DATABASE_URL;
See PostgreSQL for connection details and Using secrets for managing your own environment variables.
