Can I run LEMP Server and a Node stack on the same droplet?

Asked by Alice
I just setup a LEMP server on Ubuntu 16.04. This is my first time setting up a server from scratch!
I would like to run 3 seperate domains on the same droplet. One is a LEMP site (personal site) and another is a Node.js app that I want to use Node/Express/React/Postgres on. The third one might be a wordpress blog. Anyway…
Two Questions:
#1 I have already created the server blocks for the respective sites. Do I just install all my necessary packages and go from there? Can node and node packages be installed alongside mysql and php?
#2 Do server blocks share all the same access to the packages/servers I install? For example, can all domains use mysql and php or node?

There are a lot of questions to ask:
So, think of planning a server the way you would a road. Can it handle the traffic? Can it handle 25% more traffic than you expect? Is your code optimized?
As for if the sites can use the same installs of packages: yes.
