Dynamic Open Graph images with Next.js
When requesting the API route, the Next.js serverless function will actually spin up a web browser on the server (a headless instance of Chromium, using chrome-aws-lambda). Next, a webpage will be generated with HTML we can define ourselves. This HTML will be used to construct the image. That means that as a developer we can generate images using HTML and CSS, technologies we are already familiar with!

Remote Server Compromised
So I recently installed ChangeDetectioIO on my server, it requires either selenium/standalone-chrome-debug:3.141.59 or browserless/chrome. I installed it with Selenium in a docker container since I noticed that it was running better than the browserless/chrome service.
