Just create your dockerfile and specify which files you are moving to your container (in your case the build folder for Next.js) `

Example :
# Use an official Node.js runtime as a base image
FROM node:14-alpine

# Set the working directory inside the container
WORKDIR /usr/src/app

# Copy package.json and package-lock.json to the working directory
COPY package*.json ./

# Install dependencies
RUN npm install --production

# Copy the built Next.js application to the container
COPY .next ./.next

# Expose the port that your application will run on
EXPOSE 3000

# Define the command to run your application
CMD ["npm", "start"]

So i should include the .next and module folders and it will work right?

if there is some files you want docker to ignore you can also check to use the .dockerignore file

I'm thinking of making a template and selling it and I don't want people to have the source code, do you think this method is good or is there a better method?

I mean yeah, since they don't have access to the source code that should be possible but regarding security idk
