Can you please advise me on the best way to run a nextjs application in phpcake? It can be statically exposed, but I would like the NextJs application to run on a certain URL and receive routes… Example…

`/articles` and `/articles/*.html` would be a NextJs application, which would receive from the PHP Cake API… would there be an example please?

Thank you

I want to use it as a classic export from nextjs, no node.js server needed.
