Can I build my Next Js project inside cpanel

I need to build my next js project inside the cpanel so I dont have to build it locally and upload it every time.

I tried running the build script in the cpanel using the "setup Node.js app" and this is the error I get :

client@0.1.0 build /home/bazztn/front next build

Solution

  • You should be fully able to do so. I am personally hosting a Nuxt and Next projects on a cPanel host without none issues so far.

    The easiest way to deploy any NodeJS app is to use CloudLinux's NodeJS Selector and the good part of it is that you can also choose which Node version to be used for your app (no matter the server's default node version or whatsoever).

    Having that said, I would highly recommend you just find a cPanel host which does come with the NodeJS feature.
