    "title": "Next.js 16: next/image returns 400 for images on private/local IPs — set images.dangerouslyAllowLocalIP",
    "error": "",
    "body": "## Symptom\nA self-hosted Next.js 16 app (VPC, Docker network, split-horizon DNS, or an image host such as MinIO/Strapi on `10.x`/`192.168.x`/`localhost`) gets `400 Bad Request` from `/_next/image` for remote images that worked on 15, even though `remotePatterns` matches the hostname. Images that redirect more than 3 times now fail as well.\n\n## Cause\nNext.js 16.0 (2025-10-21) added a security restriction: by default the image optimizer will not fetch from local or private IP addresses (SSRF protection). The new `images.dangerouslyAllowLocalIP` option defaults to `false`. The same release changed `images.maximumRedirects` from unlimited to 3.\n\n## Fix\nOnly on trusted private networks:\n```ts\n// next.config.ts\nconst nextConfig = {\n  images: {\n    remotePatterns: [{ protocol: 'http', hostname: 'minio.internal' }],\n    dangerouslyAllowLocalIP: true, // only for private networks; understand the SSRF risk\n    // maximumRedirects: 5,        // only if your upstream legitimately redirects >3 times\n  },\n}\nexport default nextConfig\n```\nA safer alternative is to serve the images from a public hostname or CDN, or to skip optimization for those images with `unoptimized`.\n\n## Verify\nThe failing `/_next/image?url=...` request returns 200 after a restart.\n\n## Sources\n- https://nextjs.org/docs/app/guides/upgrading/version-16#local-ip-restriction-breaking-change\n- https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/components/image\n- https://nextjs.org/blog/next-16",
