## What it is
An example repository demonstrating how to self-host a Next.js application with PostgreSQL and Nginx on an Ubuntu Linux server using Docker. It includes a deploy script that automates server setup, SSL certificates, and container deployment.

## Use cases
- self-host a next.js app on my own server
- deploy next.js and postgres with docker
- set up nginx with ssl for a node app
- learn how to deploy without vercel
- example docker compose setup for next.js and postgres
- automate ubuntu server deployment with a bash script

## When to choose
- you want to self-host a Next.js app on a VPS instead of a managed platform
- you need a working reference for Docker, Nginx, and Postgres deployment
- you want a step-by-step tutorial with an accompanying video

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade, maintained deployment framework
- you deploy to serverless or container platforms like Vercel or Kubernetes
- you need a license-clear template for commercial reuse
