Next.js Egg Installation Guide

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

A working installation of Pterodactyl.

Admin access to the panel's admin area where you can import eggs.

Step 1: Download the Next.js Egg

Go to the Next.js Egg download page.

Download the .json egg file to your local machine.

Keep it ready for import in your panel.

Step 2: Import the Egg into Your Panel

Navigate to:

http://yourdomain.tld/admin/nests
or
https://yourdomain.tld/admin/nests

depending on your setup.

Click on the "Import Egg" button.

Upload the .json file you downloaded earlier.

After importing, assign it to a Nest and make it available for server creation.

Step 3: Create a Server with the Egg

Go to your Server Creation page.

Choose the Nest and Egg corresponding to the Next.js template.

Fill in the required details like server name, resources, and startup options.

Deploy the server.

Step 4: Upload Your Next.js Application

Upload your Next.js project files to the server using SFTP or the built-in file manager.

Make sure package.json and other required files are in the root directory.

Step 5: Start the Server

Use the panel's console or startup command to run the application.

If the Egg is set up with PM2, it will handle process management automatically.

Optional: Configure Domain and SSL (Outside Panel)

To serve your application via a domain with SSL, follow the Next.js VPS Installation Guide for Nginx and Certbot setup.
