Does the <Image> tag work with the docker container? GP's issue is with how vercel was pushing the <Image> tag a lot yet it doesn't work when in static site generation mode which is used by a lot of people.

It doesn't work in SSG, no, but it works in SSR just as if you hosted on Vercel itself. That's what I do, SSR instead of SSG, because for my app the distinction is unnecessary if I'm hosting it myself.

You can disable it to make it behave like an Image tag https://nextjs.org/docs/api-reference/next/image#unoptimized It works, it's just not optimized, that's not the same thing.

It's 2023 what kind of plebeian is using raw image tags? NextJS's OSS design is exactly what it should be, I want the image tag. I don't want Vercel boxing me into a choice:

  1. Serving images over Node.
  2. Using Vercel.

I also don't want to eject code that is sitting right there in the repo. And I don't want to maintain a fork of a homebrew reimplementation of it.
