Hi, I would like to host my NextJs13 App in my unbuntu server.

for other website (not using nextJs) it work like:
<VirtualHost :80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/sites/myWebsite/dist
ServerName MyWebsite.domainName.fr
ServerAlias.MyWebsite.domainName.fr
<Directory /var/www/sites/MyWebsite/dist>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

but with nextJs I don't have dist folder with entryPoint compilated (I just have .next/ folder)

I would like to do something like:
<VirtualHost :80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/sites/MyNextJSApp
ServerName MyNextJSApp.domainName.fr
ServerAlias.MyNextJSApp.domainName.fr
<Directory /var/www/sites/MyNextJSApp>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

can someone help me please?

.next folder works only if you use next server
the idea is you basically start a nextjs server inside your server

You'll probably have to look into something like PM2 to keep the process alive and restart it incase of failures
