Deploy a full-stack app (Laravel + Next.js)

SoftServer can run a composable full-stack application — a backend API and a JavaScript frontend — on the same VPS, wired together for you.

Choose your stack

1. Open your server and go to Platform Installation.
2. Pick a backend: Laravel, Symfony, NestJS, Express or Fastify.
3. Pick a frontend: Next.js or Nuxt (or none, for an API-only backend).
4. Choose the setup mode:
   • Monolith — backend and frontend served together.
   • Split — backend serves the API, frontend is a separate app with its own domain or path.
5. Confirm. SoftServer installs both sides, configures the reverse proxy and routing, and starts everything under supervision.

After install

• Add domains under Domains — one for the app, or separate ones for API and frontend in a split setup.
• Enable SSL on each domain.
• Connect Git deploy for each side to ship and update code.
• Manage PHP/Node.js versions, the database, Redis and background workers from the panel.

This lets you run modern decoupled architectures — for example a Next.js frontend calling a Laravel or NestJS API — with one control panel, shared SSL and unified backups, instead of stitching servers together by hand.
