With Firebase Hosting and Docker example

How to use

Using create-next-app

Execute create-next-app with Yarn or npx to bootstrap the example:

npx create-next-app --example with-firebase-hosting-and-docker with-firebase-hosting-and-docker-app
# or
yarn create next-app --example with-firebase-hosting-and-docker with-firebase-hosting-and-docker-app

Download manually

Download the example:

curl https://codeload.github.com/zeit/next.js/tar.gz/canary | tar -xz --strip=2 next.js-canary/examples/with-firebase-hosting-and-docker
cd with-firebase-hosting-and-docker

Set up firebase:

• create a project through the firebase web console
• grab the projects ID from the web consoles URL: https://console.firebase.google.com/project/
• update the .env with your FB_PROJECTID and FIREBASE_TOKEN ( see .env.example )
• ADD serviceAccountKey.json to your project root

Dev next

yarn docker:dev
open http://localhost:5000

Firebase serve

yarn docker:serve
open http://localhost:3000

Firebase deploy

yarn docker:deploy

The idea behind the example

The goal is to host the Next.js app on Firebase Cloud Functions with Firebase Hosting rewrite rules so our app is served from our Firebase Hosting URL, with docker support for a consistent development environment. Each individual page bundle is served in a new call to the Cloud Function which performs the initial server render. Docker is entirely dedicated for local development and the deployment process and that Firebase itself will not leverage Docker itself.

This is based off of the work of @jthegedus in the with-firebase-hosting example.

Important

• The empty placeholder.html file is so Firebase Hosting does not error on an empty public/ folder and still hosts at the Firebase project URL.
• firebase.json outlines the catchall rewrite rule for our Cloud Function.
• The Firebase predeploy hooks defined in firebase.json will handle linting and compiling of the next app and the functions sourceswhen firebase deploy is invoked. The only scripts you should need are docker:dev, docker:serve and docker:deploy.
