What stands out
A quick read of the recorded project description.
Built-in /api/hello JSON route and /healthz health check endpoint
No Dockerfile; Naijacloud automatically detects and runs build and start commands
Default welcome page supports light and dark appearances and lists next steps such as connecting a repository and adding a domain
Only one environment variable, SITE_NAME, controls the page title and header
MIT licensed; this version of the code can be used, modified, commercialized, and distributed for free
Template Details
This is a minimal starter based on the Next.js App Router and TypeScript, with the repository positioned as "ready to deploy on Naijacloud". The project contains only one page, a JSON route at /api/hello, and a health check endpoint at /healthz, making it suitable as a starting point for new projects or deployment verification.
For deployment, the repository does not provide a Dockerfile; instead, it relies on the Naijacloud platform to automatically detect Next.js and run npm ci && npm run build, then run npm run start on $PORT. The README explains that you can build directly from a public repository and obtain an HTTPS address without connecting GitHub, and later switch the service to your own forked repository.
The default page is Naijacloud's welcome page, offering light and dark appearances and listing next steps (connect a repository, add a domain, database, or storage). To replace it with your own application, modify app/page.tsx; links back to Naijacloud are centralized in lib/naijacloud.ts. Regarding environment variables, the README lists only SITE_NAME, used for the page title and header, with a default value of My app, read at request time.
Limitations to note: the template itself does not include business modules such as databases, authentication, or payments; these are to be added later. The README does not describe any environment variables other than SITE_NAME. The license is MIT, and the free scope refers only to this version of the code; third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons, as well as external services like domains, hosting, and databases, require separate verification of their respective licenses and fees.

Is it right for your project?
Use Cases
- Quickly verify the build and deployment process of a Next.js project on Naijacloud
- Use as starting code for a new Next.js App Router project, replacing app/page.tsx and continuing development
- Need a directly accessible /healthz health check endpoint for service liveness probing
- Need a sample API route returning JSON to demonstrate frontend-backend interface calls
Suitable For
- Next.js developers who want to start with a minimal structure
- Individuals or teams preparing to deploy and verify a Next.js application on Naijacloud
- Those who need a sample project reference with TypeScript and default App Router configuration
Getting started & customization
Use these recorded setup notes alongside the repository instructions for your chosen version.
- 1
Local run: after cloning the repository, run cp .env.example .env, npm install, npm run dev
- 2
Deployment: use the Deploy button in the README or the naijacloud.com/new link to build from a public repository without connecting GitHub
- 3
Environment variable: SITE_NAME is used for the page title and header, defaults to My app, and is read at request time
- 4
Replacing content: modify app/page.tsx to use your own page; Naijacloud backlinks are in lib/naijacloud.ts
- 5

Usage conditions & limitations
Free to use · keep license noticeThis entry covers the free version under the MIT license in the public repository; the free scope is limited to this version of the code and does not imply that external services or third-party assets are free.
Must comply with when using
- This version of the code may be used, modified, commercialized, and distributed for free.
- When distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, retain the original author's copyright notice and the full MIT license notice.
- The code is provided as is; warranties and limitations of liability are governed by the original license and applicable law.
Additional costs & items to verify
- Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be checked against their respective licenses; they cannot be judged solely by the code's MIT license.
- External services such as domains, hosting, databases, payments, or AI may incur additional fees.
- Deployment depends on the Naijacloud platform: the README states that no GitHub connection is required; Naijacloud builds from a public repository and provides an HTTPS address, and the service can later be switched to your own forked repository.
- The project does not include a Dockerfile; build and start are performed by the Naijacloud platform after automatically detecting Next.js, running npm ci && npm run build and npm run start, and listening on $PORT.
- The default page is Naijacloud's welcome page; links back to Naijacloud are centralized in lib/naijacloud.ts and must be handled when replacing the page.

How this score is calculated
Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.
The catalog identifies Next.js as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
