How to serve multiple angular apps from one digital-ocean droplet based on /path.

Posted on November 27, 2021

Hi Folks,

I am new to digital ocean platform and nginx, I have setup a droplet which serves an angular app seamlessly, however I want to serve multiple angular apps from one digital-ocean droplet based on URL/path.

for an example

abc.com/app1 -----> ~/app1/index.html abc.com/app2 -----> ~/app2/index.html

and so on.

Please refer following configuration I have for my sites-available/abc.com

server {
        root /home/alok/abc-web;
        index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
        server_name abc.one www.abc.one; 
	    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;

         location /app1/ {
           alias /home/alok/abc-web/app1/dist/;
           try_files $uri /index.html;
        }

       location /app2/ {
           alias /home/alok/abc-web/app2/dist/;
           try_files $uri /index.html;
       }
  

    listen [::]:443 ssl ipv6only=on; # managed by Certbot
    listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/abc.one/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/abc.one/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
    include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot

}

server {
    if ($host = abc.one) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    } # managed by Certbot


        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;

        server_name abc.one www.abc.one;
    return 404; # managed by Certbot


}

I have replaced abc.com with actual domain name I used.

I understand its more of an Nginx config issue than a digital-ocean droplet issue.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

I think that the Ningx config looks good, you just need to update the locations a little bit to:

        location /app1/ {
           alias /home/alok/abc-web/app1/dist/;
           try_files $uri /app1/index.html;
       }

       location /app2/ {
           alias /home/alok/abc-web/app2/dist/;
           try_files $uri /app2/index.html;
       }

Note that after each Nginx config change, you need to restart/reload the Nginx service.

Let me know how it goes! Best, Bobby
