How to create subdomain on nginx which points to different droplet

Posted August 3, 2015
DigitalOcean Nginx Configuration Management

Hello

I have a droplet with domain pointing on that droplet. Now I want to create subdomain which will point to another droplet. I tried to google it but without success.

My main droplet is running nginx. I’m not very familiar with server managment, so I need help from someone more experienced.
