cli.nextStart([
  '-p', process.env.PORT || 3000,
  '-H', process.env.HOSTNAME || '0.0.0.0',
]);

for those wondering about @manuelsechi comment

yes, you can with the following:

artifacts:
  base-directory: 'out'
  files:
    - "**/*"

@crjrdemant not sure what "out" is
next.js usually puts builded files into the .next dir.

can you better explain please?

@manuelsechi I am brand new to Next.js, just started my first project. Using the latest version of Next.js the documentation to generate output files for a static website (no Node backend) instructs you to configure next.config.js to have this:

const nextConfig = { output: 'export' }

This will build out the static-website ready files in the /out directory. Might be something with newer versions of Next.js? Or perhaps this is exclusively the output directory for no-backend static files. Hope that helps!
