.next doesn’t have node_modules inside it, monorepo or not

.next/standalone/node_modules - this one

I expected to get proper package.json in .next/standalone but it doesn't have any dependencies listed

Standalone mode then idk sorry

😦

Meh, there should be a way, or it stops making any sense

Ah, that's in the docs actually.

Missed it before

meh, it didn't help

@joulev It seems I'll have to give up on standalone builds. 😕

I cannot find in the docs the precise procedure on how to deploy "normal" builds

But I do need node_modules, do I?

And I will need to copy them to the production then, right?

What do you mean by "normal" builds?

Well, just regular way to deploy a nextjs app

what's inside .next, right?

Normally you would just do npm build

Then use npm start to

Ok, and how to get all this on the server?

How to transfer it say in a docker image

The docs have all the info for that

It doesn't say that

I read it

You need some way to transfer the files to your server?

I dont know exactly the best way but normally you would use ftp to transfer the files to your server and then use npm start or well if you are using docker, follow the steps in that guide for docker.

You are basically running a server inside a server

Setting up a CI pipeline for this is recommended

@Clown My question is not about actually copying files, rather - what files I need

so you say that I need just the same project directory

so I need to get node_modules there

and its size can be a gigabyte easily

300Kb webstie with 1Gb of node_modules, that's insane

and I have to transfer all this to the server every deploy?

Why would you transfer the node modules folder ?

how would next work without them?

oh, you mean running npm i

Yes

Idk, if it's ok if server would need to install that

including modules from private company registeries

But why not, I could provide that I think

I dont think it would be an issue

You can just use standalone otherwise in which case you only need that one folder

You do NOT need node_modules in standalone.

Also yes, you need to either upload the new standalone each time or create a CI pipeline that will do it for you

No, standalone doesn't work - hence this thread. I started with stadnalone.

And it should have its own node_modules dir, but not in my case: in monorepo it's just not there 😦

I tried to engage techniques listed in the Caveats section, but they didn't work

Hmm i guess i dont know then.
