Next.js now available

johns

We have created an installer for Next.js.
It is now available as an option when installing a new application in the dashboard.
Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback. Thanks!

We identified an issue with the installer. It currently starts Nextjs in development mode, which is prone to memory leaks and very slow (dev mode compiles pages at runtime).

I opened a PR to ensure NextJs is started in production mode (see https://github.com/opalstack/installers/pull/20). Please note production mode requires a build (npm|yarn|pnpm|bun build).

sean

pecus this was intentional with the assumption that customers would want to build or test their sites in dev mode prior to configuring them for production. Once you're ready to run in production the correct thing to do is to update the start script as shown in your PR.

pecus

sean this should be clarified in the README that is created by the installer. It's easy to assume the project runs optimized, and while the assumption has some ground, it's always best to clarify the mode the server runs (dev or production).

I'm closing the PR but I'd really like this behavior to be documented.
