Hi, after I implemented the getStaticProps() method for fetching data in the beginning when the app is starting up my app cant be deployed to the DigitalOcean server anymore. For the data fetching I am using axios which queries the data at the beginning and then passes it on the child components. Has anybody got a clue what the reason could be?

Hi there,
It’s difficult to diagnose the exact issue without more information, but I can provide you with some general troubleshooting steps to help identify the problem:
Check the build logs: Inspect the build logs during deployment to see if there are any errors or warnings. This might give you clues about what’s going wrong.
Test the build locally: Make sure your app builds and runs correctly on your local machine. If it works locally but not on the server, it might be an environment-specific issue.
npm run build npm run start
Check the server logs: Look at the logs on your DigitalOcean server. This can help you identify any server-related issues, such as a missing dependency or a misconfigured environment variable.
Ensure dependencies are installed: Make sure all required dependencies, including
axios
, are listed in yourpackage.json
file and installed on the server.Check environment variables: If you’re using environment variables in your application, ensure that they’re set correctly on the server. Sometimes, environment-specific values (such as API keys) are not set correctly, which could cause issues with your app.
Verify the server environment: Ensure your server environment has all the necessary components, such as Node.js and the required libraries, for your React/Next.js app to work correctly. You should be using a compatible Node.js version for your app, and it should be properly installed on the server.
Test data fetching: Make sure that the data fetching with
axios
andgetStaticProps()
works correctly. It’s possible that the server is unable to fetch data due to a network issue or misconfigured API endpoint. Try logging the fetched data during the build process to ensure that it’s working correctly.If you’re still unable to identify the issue, feel free to share a link to your GitHub repository so I could try to deploy this on my end and further troubleshoot this!
Best,
Bobby
