Can I use my Primary Domain in cPanel to point to Next.js app?

I operate an Apache server running Alma Linux, equipped with cPanel/WHM, hosting multiple websites on various subdomains. I aim to use my primary domain with my Next.js application, which is already developed and deployed on port 3000 of the server.

What steps can I take? can I achieve this through cPanel? or will I have to use some other method?

  Hey there!  Node.JS isn't something that is supported by cPanel, but we do make the tools available.  Details on configuring your server to support the application are here:

  https://docs.cpanel.net/knowledge-base/general-systems-administration/guide-to-node-js-installations/

  and details on setting up an application that is compatible with cPanel can be found here:

  Thank you for the quick response. I was actually able to get this working by using a reverse-proxy configuration on apache. But I have more issues, that I will address in a separate thread.
