Nginx – Alias Imports Suddenly Caused Module Not Found Errors in NextJS

I am building a NextJS app and all of a sudden all my import aliases stopped working

This is my jsconfig.json

{
    "compilerOptions": {
      "baseUrl": ".",
      "paths": {
        "@/*": ["./*"]
      }
    }
  }

I have an initial import like this in my layout.jsx file:

import {RootLayout} from '@/components/RootLayout';

And that stopped working completely.

I had to go through my project and use absolute paths so I turned that into:

import {RootLayout} from '/src/components/RootLayout';

And everything is loading but does anyone have any ideas what happened? I can’t get my alias to work now.

Im using Linux, Visual Studio Code, Nginx, on a DO Droplet.

I tried to use @/components/RootLayout but received a Module not found – my aliases broke and they had been working for days before?
