Static files removed in production mode on some app errors

[Mehran91z]

I want to run my project in production mode in CentOS server, When I run next build && NODE_ENV=production node -r dotenv/config index.js command, and getting some errors in application, app will be crashed for everyone and all static files in .next/static directory will be removed. So we need to run that command again!

Question: In witch situation static files in .next directory will be removed automatically in production run? and how I can prevent that?

p will be crashed for everyone and all static files in .next/static directory will be removed

you likely did not boot up the production server, the production server does not change .next/static
