tencent cloud

The SLS framework deployment scheme has been upgraded. You can use an SCF HTTP-triggered function to quickly deploy your Next.js service to the cloud.

Note：

What are the differences between SLS console deployment and direct function deployment?
Both SLS console deployment and function deployment can be based on HTTP-triggered functions, and quick deployment is usually used for web frameworks.

• If you only need to develop code logic and do not need to create additional resources, you can perform quick deployment through the Serverless console.
• If you need to create more capabilities or resources, such as automatic creation of layer hosting dependencies, quick implementation of static resource isolation, and support for direct code repository pulling, in addition to code deployment, you can use the SLS console to create web applications.

Prerequisites

Before using Tencent Cloud Serverless, you need to sign up for a Tencent Cloud account and complete the identity verification.

Note：

This document introduces the SLS console deployment scheme. You can also complete the deployment in CLI by referring to Deploying Web Function on Command Line.

Directions

Template deployment - deploying Next.js sample code

1. Log in to the SLS console.
2. Choose Create Application and select Web Application > Next.js Framework.
3. Click Next and complete basic configuration.
4. Select Sample Code as the upload mode and click Complete. The application deployment starts.
5. After the application deployment is completed, you can view the basic information of the sample application on the application details page. In addition, you can use access the deployed Next.js project at the access path URL generated by API Gateway.

Custom deployment - quickly deploying web application

Prerequisites

The Node.js runtime environment has been installed locally.

Local development

1. Refer to Getting Started to install and initialize your Next.js project:

   npx create-next-app
   

2. In the root directory, run the following command to directly start the service locally.

   cd my-app && npm run dev
   

3. Visit http://localhost:3000 in a browser, and you can access the sample Next.js project locally.
   

Deployment in cloud

You need to make simple modifications to the initialized project, so that the project can be quickly deployed through an HTTP-triggered function. The project transformation here is usually divided into the following two steps:

• Change the listening address and port to 0.0.0.0:9000.
• Add the scf_bootstrap file.

The detailed steps are as follows:

1. Create the scf_bootstrap file in the root directory of the project and add the following content to it (the file is used to start the service and specify the start port):

   Note：

   You can also complete the configuration in the console.

   #!/var/lang/node12/bin/node
   const { nextStart } = require('next/dist/cli/next-start');
   nextStart([ '--port', '9000', '--hostname', '0.0.0.0' ])
   

Note

1. Here is only a sample bootstrap file. Please adjust the configuration according to your actual business scenario.
2. The sample uses the standard node environment path of SCF. When debugging locally, you need to change it to your local path.

After the file is created, you need to run the following command to modify the executable permission of the file. By default, the permission `777` or `755` is required for the service to start normally. Below is the sample code:

chmod 777 scf_bootstrap

2. After the local configuration is completed, run the bootstrap file and make sure that your service can be normally started locally. Then log in to the SLS console, select Web Application > Next.js Framework, and select Local Upload or Code Repository Pull as the upload mode.

You can configure the scf_bootstrap file in the console. When the configuration is completed, the console automatically generates the scf_bootstrap file and packages it and the project code for deployment.

Note：

The actual scf_bootstrap file in your project prevails. If the scf_bootstrap file already exists in your project, its content will not be overwritten.

When the configuration is completed, click Complete to deploy your Next.js project.
