Asked by crestworks
I have a Laravel App and separate Vue app that I want to deploy to a Droplet. I have not combined Vue into the Laravel app. I know how to setup Laravel on the server and get that running but how can I setup Nginx Blocks and the Vue app so that when a someone visits the domain name they are taken to the Vue app?

Hi there,
What you could do is first set up your server and deploy your Laravel application as per this tutorial here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-laravel-with-nginx-on-ubuntu-20-04
If you have a domain name you could use something like api.example.com as the
server_name.Once your Laravel application has been deployed, you can create a new directory at
/var/www/example.comand upload your VueJS project there. After that, you can create a new Nginx server block for your main domain and use example.com as the servername and change the document root to/var/www/example.com.That way when you visit api.example.com you will reach your Laravel installation and when you visit example.com you will be seeing your VueJS application thanks to the separate Nginx server blocks.
