Most of the time the default Next.js server will be enough but there are times you'll want to run your own server to integrate into an existing application. Next.js provides a custom server api.
Because the Next.js server is a Node.js module you can combine it with any other part of the node.js ecosystem. In this case we are using Hapi.
Deploy the example using Vercel or preview live with StackBlitz
Execute create-next-app with npm, Yarn, or pnpm to bootstrap the example:
npx create-next-app --example custom-server-hapi custom-server-hapi-app
# or
yarn create next-app --example custom-server-hapi custom-server-hapi-app
# or
pnpm create next-app --example custom-server-hapi custom-server-hapi-app
