Deploy a Next.js app to Appwrite Sites

First, you must either create a Next.js app or setup the Next.js starter template.

Open your terminal, and run the following command.

npx create-next-app@latest

Push this project to a GitHub repo.

Head to the Appwrite Console.

If this is your first time using Appwrite, create an account and create your first project.

Head to the Sites page in your Appwrite project, click on the Create site button, and select Connect a repository.

Connect your GitHub account and select the repository you intend to deploy.

1. Select the production branch and root directory from your repo.

2. Verify that the correct framework is selected. In case an incorrect framework is visible, pick Next.js from the drop-down list.

3. Confirm the install command, build command, and output directory in the build settings. The default build settings for Next.js are:

   • Install command: npm install

   • Build command: npm run build

   • Output directory: ./.next

4. Add any environment variables required by the site.

Click on the Deploy button.

After successful deployment, click on the Visit site button.
