Deploy Next.js to Scaleway

Steps

1. 1

   Create a Scaleway API token

   In the Scaleway console, open IAM → API keys and generate a new API key. Railyard needs the access key and secret key, plus your project ID. Paste it into Railyard and tick Save it to the team, so it's reused for every server after this one.

2. 2

   Add a Scaleway server

   In Railyard, open Servers, then Add a server, then Create on your cloud, and pick Scaleway, a region and a size. Railyard preselects DEV1-S (1 vCPU, 2 GB of memory). It creates the server in your Scaleway account and finishes setup in about two minutes.

3. 3

   Deploy your Next.js repository

   Paste the GitHub link. Railyard reads the repository, detects Next.js and fills in the build, the port, the release command, workers and Postgres or Redis.

4. 4

   Go live on HTTPS

   Railyard builds your app, runs the release command, health-checks the new version and moves traffic only when it answers. Add your domain and the certificate is issued and renewed for you.

What Railyard sets up for Next.js

• Your package manager is picked from the lockfile: npm, pnpm, yarn or bun.
• Railpack runs your build script, then the app starts with npm start.
• The app listens on $PORT. HOST and similar variables are set for you.
• Add Postgres or Redis from the app page and the connection string is injected as a variable.
• Large front-end builds are fitted to the build server's memory.
