You mentioned that you want to host both under the same domain name. How do you want that to work? Different paths, as in
website.com/backend1andwebsite.com/backend2? A more straightforward way would bebackend1.website.comandbackend2.website.com. In that case, you can duplicate your existing Nginx server block, updateserver_nameto point to the new sub domain (make sure you configure DNS for the sub domain), and change theproxy_passport to a different one that your second backend will be using.
