Hosting a Next.js app on a Hetzner VPS via Coolify

Unproofread notes

A quick guide to host a Next.js app on a Hetzner VPS via Coolify:

Set up an Ubuntu Hetzner VPS and grab the public IP
Connect to the server from your terminal via SSH
```
ssh root@[IP_ADDRESS]
```
Update and upgrade the Ubuntu server
```
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
```

Install Coolify on the server by running the following command

curl -fsSL https://cdn.coollabs.io/coolify/install.sh | bash

After successful installation, visit http://[ID_ADDRESS]:8000 and register a new account
Connect your private or public GitHub repo and publish your Next.js app

I have also created this step-by-step YouTube video explaining everything from creating the VPS to installing Coolify and hosting the website.
