I decided to take a career break and try out building apps using Generative AI. I am also learning NextJS and developing LaunchStack, starter code which I will use for my web projects

This tutorial by Lee Robinson on self-hosting Next.js using Docker and deploying it on Fly.io is a great resource for developers. It illustrates how to set up a Next.js app with API routes, leveraging Docker for seamless deployment. The example includes creating a simple blog page and highlights the necessary configurations in the fly.toml file. However, a notable issue regarding the missing sharp dependency for image optimization is mentioned, which could be a potential hurdle for those looking to utilize all Next.js features.

What’s happening when you try the suggested solution from the next docs? Normally it should be working after you add the sharp dependency 🤔
