Hello,
I have a server where is running my Rails application. The droplet is located in LON1, the image installation is: Ubuntu Ruby-on-Rails on 16.04.
On my website, I want to have a Wordpress blog. I want to have it here: website.com/blog.
What are the steps to do it? Is the $10 droplet enough for it? Do I need to install everything separately (PHP, Apache, MySQL etc.?) Cannot this affect the Rails app, that has the priority #1?
Thank you

Hello,
To be on the safe side, before proceeding, make sure to create a Snapshot for your Droplet. After that, as you mentioned you need to install LAMP and then Wordpress. You can follow the steps on how to do that here:
In order to be able to run both services, you need to make sure that they are not running on the same port. For example if you already have your Ruby-on-Rails app running on port 80, Apache would not be able to start. To fix that what you could do is change the port that your Ruby-on-Rails app is running on a different port and then set up apache as a reverse proxy server to proxy the traffic to your rails app. Here’s how to do that:
