In order to have more than one Django app running on one Droplet, you’ll need to set up something like Nginx as a reverse proxy to direct requests to the correct app. By setting the server_name directive in each of your server blocks, Nginx will know what to serve.

Here’s a simplified example:

upstream app_server_one {
    server 127.0.0.1:9000 fail_timeout=0;
}

upstream app_server_two {
    server 127.0.0.1:7000 fail_timeout=0;
}

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name app1.example.com;

   # [snip...]

    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_pass http://app_server_one;
    }
}

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name app2.example.com;

   # [snip...]

    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_pass http://app_server_two;
    }
}

In the example, requests to app1.example.com will serve a Django app listening on port 9000 and app2.example.com will serve the app listening on port 7000.
