Public folder

[MartinMuzatko]

I'm not sure if I correctly understand the docs.
The public folder is not supported at all?

Rewrite Limitations: Rewrites in Next.js configuration can’t point to static files in the public directory.

Shouldn't the plugin handle supporting the public folder by default?

I have to provide .next as publish directory for it to work, that means the public folder is missing.
How can I make the public folder available to netlify so that it is included in the deployed bundle?

Hi @MartinMuzatko. Other than some very specific edge case limitations, the full feature set of Next.js is supported on Netlify, and that definitely includes the public folder! This should also all work out of the box, with zero configuration needed.

So that we can help you troubleshoot, could you please share some details about your site? What does your netlify.toml contain? What version of Next.js are you using? If your project is connected to git, can you please share a screenshot of Project configuration > Build & deploy > Build settings?

Do you see this banner above your deploy?

If you DM @Netlify on X with your site name or ID, we can also take a look behind the scenes.

Thanks!

Thank you for the quick reply!

These are the deploy settings I use:

I have no netlify.toml
I use next 16.1.6.
I use the next plugin.

I'll reach out to Netlify on X. Thank you!

I lost track of the username on X. Could we please continue it here?
What is wrong with my setup? is .next not the correct publish directory? Are the paths different? I find so many people having this problem online, but no answer.
