How to serve two node.js apps on one domain? Site #2 accessible through localhost but not through url. (Nginx)
I am attempting to run two node.js applications from the same droplet, off the same url. I am serving the first app from http://finleywill.com, and would like to serve the second app from http://finleywill.com/todo.
I am running nginx on the server.
The first app, my portfolio page, listens to port 5000.
- It is served correctly from http://finleywill.com
The second app, a to-do list, listens to port 8888.
- When I go to 67.205.148.223:8888, the app loads.
- However, trying to connect via http://finleywill.com/todo produces a “504 Gateway Time-out”
/etc/nginx/sites-available/finleywill.com is as following:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
root /var/www/finleywill.com/html;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name finleywill.com www.finleywill.com;
access_log /root/source/access.log;
error_log /root/source/error.log;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:5000;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
location /todo {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8888;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
}
I use PM2 to run the apps as system processes
App name │ id │ version │ mode │ pid │ status │ restart │ uptime │ cpu │ mem │ user │ watching │
app │ 0 │ 1.0.0 │ fork │ 27064 │ online │ 0 │ 72m │ 0% │ 55.5 MB │ root │ disabled │
app-todo │ 1 │ 1.0.0 │ fork │ 27156 │ online │ 0 │ 40m │ 0% │ 37.0 MB │ root │ disabled │

Thank you for your help! I had already found an answer by the time I saw this comment, but will keep it in mind as reference. This seems to be a different solve but will no doubt help my understanding in the future.
