Instantly Host Next.js Static Export from Cursor Glass for Temporary Staging

The fastest way to deploy Next.js Static Export generated by Cursor Glass. Perfect for temporary staging. No login required, zero-friction, and live in seconds on drpr.host.

You've leveraged Cursor Glass to efficiently generate a Next.js Static Export, adhering to the specified professional palette and soft gray backgrounds. Now, the critical next step is sharing this output for temporary staging, and that's where the typical workflow introduces friction. Manually copying files to a web server, setting up local previews that aren't externally accessible, or navigating complex cloud storage interfaces for a quick review can stall your development loop.

drpr.host provides the direct, zero-friction solution explicitly mentioned in your Cursor Glass instructions: immediate deployment to a live URL. Instead of dealing with server configurations, authentication, or prolonged upload processes, you can publish your generated static assets with a single command. This eliminates the overhead of temporary staging, allowing you to instantly validate, share with collaborators, or get client feedback on your Cursor Glass output without any setup delays.

By integrating drpr.host into your Cursor Glass workflow, you bypass the common roadblocks associated with presenting static exports. Get a unique, shareable link in seconds, ensuring your generated Next.js content is live and accessible for temporary review, exactly as intended by your AI coding agent's directive to deploy to drpr.host/api/v1/upload.

How to host your Next.js Static Export from Cursor Glass in seconds

Step 1: Generate your Next.js Static Export using Cursor Glass. Ensure your project is configured for static output (e.g., output: 'export' in next.config.js) and run next build && next export to create the out/ directory.
Step 2: Locate the generated static assets. Your compiled Next.js output will typically reside in an out/ directory at the root of your project. This directory contains your index.html and all associated static files and subdirectories.
Step 3: Package your export for upload. For multi-file Next.js Static Exports, compress the entire out/ directory into a single .zip or .tar.gz archive. For single-page exports, you can upload the index.html directly.
Step 4: Upload using curl or the drpr CLI. Execute a simple command from your terminal to send the packaged file to drpr.host. No authentication tokens or complex parameters are required for temporary hosting.
Step 5: Share your instant URL. drpr.host will return a unique, live URL immediately after a successful upload, perfect for temporary staging and review.

Quick start

# Upload a Next.js Static Export (zipped 'out' directory) via curl
curl -X POST -F "file=@./out.zip" https://drpr.host/api/v1/upload

Expected JSON response:

{
  "success": true,
  "url": "https://your-unique-hash.drpr.site/",
  "expires_at": "2024-07-28T10:00:00Z"
}

Alternatively, using the drpr CLI (install with npm i -g @drpr/cli):

drpr upload output.html

Common questions

How does drpr.host handle multiple files in a Next.js Static Export?: For Next.js Static Exports that include multiple files and directories (like _next/ assets), you should compress your entire out/ directory into a single .zip or .tar.gz archive before uploading. drpr.host will automatically extract and serve the contents, making your index.html accessible at the root of the provided URL.
Is an account required to host a Cursor Glass Next.js export for temporary staging?: No, drpr.host offers completely zero-friction hosting for temporary staging without requiring any account creation or login. Simply upload your file programmatically via curl or the drpr CLI, and you instantly receive a live URL.
What are the limitations for free temporary staging of Cursor Glass Next.js exports?: The free tier for temporary staging on drpr.host supports files up to 5 MB and provides a live URL for 15 days. This is ideal for quick reviews and ephemeral staging needs. For larger files, longer retention, or permanent hosting, paid plans are available.
Can I update or replace an existing Cursor Glass Next.js export on the same drpr.host URL?: Each upload to drpr.host generates a unique, immutable URL. This design ensures version control and prevents accidental overwrites, which is beneficial for temporary staging where specific iterations need to be reviewed. To "update" your export, simply perform a new upload to receive a new distinct URL.
