How to Dockerize a Next.js app

Use this example dockerfile to dockerize and build your Next.js app as an image.

# Node version
FROM node:14-alpine as build

RUN apk update
RUN apk --no-cache --virtual build-dependencies add \
    jpeg-dev \
    cairo-dev \
    giflib-dev \
    pango-dev \
    python3 \
    make \
    g++ 


# Set the working directory
WORKDIR /app

# Add the source code to app
COPY . /app

# Install all the dependencies
RUN yarn install --frozen-lockfile

# Generate the build of the application
RUN yarn build

# Production image, copy all the files and run next
FROM node:14-alpine AS runner
WORKDIR /app

RUN addgroup -g 1001 -S nodejs
RUN adduser -S nextjs -u 1001

# Copy the build output to replace the default nginx contents.
# COPY --from=build /app/next.config.js ./
COPY --from=build /app/public ./public
COPY --from=build --chown=nextjs:nodejs /app/.next ./.next
COPY --from=build /app/node_modules ./node_modules
COPY --from=build /app/package.json ./package.json

USER root

EXPOSE 3000

CMD ["yarn", "start"]

Then run the following to build it:
docker build --no-cache -t latest .
docker run latest

You can now use this to push to Google Cloud Container Registry
