How to self-host production next.js app via https?

To self-host a Next.js app in production with HTTPS, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Set up a web server: You can use a server like Nginx or Apache to serve your Next.js app. Install and configure the web server on your server.
2. Configure SSL certificate: You will need an SSL certificate to enable HTTPS on your server. You can obtain a free SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt or purchase one from a certificate authority. Install the SSL certificate on your server and configure the web server to use HTTPS.
3. Build your Next.js app: Before deploying your app, you need to build it using the command next build. This will create a production-ready build of your Next.js app.
4. Run your Next.js app: Start your Next.js app using the command next start. This will serve your app on the configured port (by default, it's 3000).
5. Set up reverse proxy: To route incoming HTTPS requests to your Next.js app, you can set up a reverse proxy in your web server configuration. You can configure the web server to forward requests to your Next.js app running on a specific port.
6. Test your app: Once your Next.js app is up and running with HTTPS, test it to make sure everything is working correctly. Access your app in a web browser using the HTTPS URL.

By following these steps, you can self-host your Next.js app in production with HTTPS enabled. It's important to ensure that your server is properly configured and secured to protect your app and user data.
