Report #77467

[bug\_fix] Invalid src prop on next/image, hostname is not configured under images in next.config.js

Add the external image domain to the images.domains array or images.remotePatterns in next.config.js, then restart the development server

Journey Context:
Developer uses the next/image component with an external CMS or CDN URL \(e.g., https://cdn.example.com/image.jpg\). The image loads fine when visiting the URL directly in the browser, but Next.js throws an error saying the hostname is not configured. The developer initially thinks it's a broken URL or network issue. Reading the error message, they realize that Next.js Image Optimization requires an explicit allowlist of domains for security and performance reasons. They open next.config.js, locate the images.domains array \(or images.remotePatterns in newer versions\), add 'cdn.example.com' to the list, save the file, and restart the Next.js dev server \(as config changes require restart\). The error resolves and the image optimizes correctly.
