Next.js Docker Template 🚀

This project serves as a starting point for Next.js applications using Docker, designed to streamline both development and deployment processes. It includes a Docker configuration tailored for Next.js apps and integrates Traefik for simplified reverse proxying and SSL configuration, ensuring a smoother workflow.

Features 🌟

• 🐳 Docker Integration: Simplifies the setup and isolation of the development environment.
• 📦 Docker Compose Support: Facilitates the management of multi-container Docker applications.
• 📚 Pre-configured MongoDB: Ready-to-use MongoDB service for data storage.
• 🔄 Traefik Setup: Provides easy reverse proxying and automated SSL configuration for secure, production-ready deployments.
• 🌐 Development and Production Environment Setup: Offers an easy transition from development to production settings.

Prerequisites 📋

Before starting, please ensure the following tools are installed on your system:

• 🐳 Docker: Installation Guide
• 📦 Docker Compose: Installation Guide
• ⚙️ Traefik: Must be configured and running. Refer to the Traefik Quick Start for instructions. For an easy start, consider using this Traefik Docker Compose repository.

Technology Stack 🛠️

This template is built upon a solid foundation of technologies, each serving a crucial role:

Technology	Purpose
	Frontend Framework
	Containerization
	Database
	Reverse Proxy and SSL Termination

Each technology is carefully chosen to ensure optimal performance, ease of use, and seamless integration for a smooth development experience and robust deployment.

Setup Instructions 📖

Traefik Configuration

Ensure Traefik is set up as a reverse proxy. Follow the Traefik Documentation if not already configured.

Step 1: Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/SilberMa/docker-next-base.git your-project-name
cd your-project-name

Step 2: Traefik Configuration

This template assumes that Traefik is already set up as a reverse proxy. If you haven't configured Traefik yet, please follow the Traefik Documentation to do so. Make sure Traefik is configured to listen for incoming requests and route them appropriately to your Docker containers.

Step 2: Initialize the Next.js Application 🛠️

Navigate to the src directory and create your Next.js app:

cd src
npx create-next-app@latest .

Step 3: Build and Run with Docker 🐳

Return to the root directory and start your application using Docker Compose:

cd ..
docker-compose up --build

This command constructs the Docker image for your Next.js app and initiates the services defined in the docker-compose.yml, including your Next.js app and MongoDB.

Step 4: Accessing Your Application 🌐

• Next.js Application: The application is available at https://dev.docker.localhost. Make sure your Traefik setup is correctly configured to route this domain to your application container.

• MongoDB: Direct database connections can be made on port 27017.

• Mongo Express: This web-based MongoDB admin interface is accessible at http://localhost:8081.

Configuration ⚙️

Dockerfile Adjustments

You may need to adjust the Dockerfile to change the Node version or include additional dependencies specific to your project.

docker-compose.yml Modifications

The docker-compose.yml file outlines the service definitions for your application and database. Modify MongoDB's environment variables as needed to suit your project requirements. Ensure the Traefik labels in your service definitions align with your overall Traefik configuration to facilitate correct routing and SSL termination.
