Deploying NextJS 14 web app with SSR and app router using Azure Devops

Question

We built a Nextjs 14 with an App Router and SSR website because of certain regularities and data protection. Our entire codebase, CI/CD pipeline, and hosting service need to sit on Azure DevOps. However, after following so many tutorials and getting success in build and deployment to Azure Web App service, the website just won't run.

I have tried the pm2 startup command but just won't be able to find the next module even though I've already copied the next file to node_modules.

• Have tried nextjs standalone build and the "node server.js" start-up command but have issues with getting static files.

If anyone has encountered this specific use case, please reach out and help. Appreciate it!

Answer 1

I tried creating one NextJs app with SSR and routing and tried the deployment via Azure DevOps pipline and it loaded successfully, Refer below:-

My Github Repository.

I tried deploying via normal Azure DevOps pipeline but the app failed to load.

In order to deploy your NextJJs app successfully via Azure DevOps pipeline, Refer my SO answer here. Where I have built the App and used next start command as a startup script.

Alternatively, When I tried deployment via VS Code the app worked successfully, Refer below:-
