Question

How to use one droplet for frontend (nuxt) and backend (node app) on subdomains of the same domain.

Node.jsAPI

Hello I am new with Digital Ocean and want to know how to use different urls for different apps (please include nuxt.js). my backend will be an API that is why I need another domain. I know there is a feature on nuxt but I dont want the api to go down if the nuxt app goes down.

Hi there @23brewert,

What I could suggest here is using Nginx as a reverse proxy so that you could proxy the traffic to your different apps based on your domain names.

I could suggest starting with this article here on how to setup Node JS for production, you can follow Set Up Nginx as a Reverse Proxy Server step:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-node-js-application-for-production-on-ubuntu-16-04#set-up-nginx-as-a-reverse-proxy-server

Let me know how it goes!
Regards,
Bobby

How To Set Up a Node.js Application for Production on Ubuntu 16.04
by Brennen Bearnes
Node.js is an open source JavaScript runtime environment for easily building server-side and networking applications. Node.js applications can be run at the command line but this guide focuses on running them as a service using PM2, so that they will automatically restart on reboot or failure, and can safely be used in a production environment.

    Is there a way to do this in a single app? Apps are amazing but I would like to use a single app to run my backend and front end. I tried with 2 different apps approach as well, but it failed really badly.

        I have checked this but my backend has its own backend (using Keystone) and When I try to access that two next projects clash. I believe the reason is not being able to use subdomains instead of a single domain with a route. I tried launching 2 separate as well and try to connect them as well. That failed too.

          Hi there,

          Have you tried using a Dockerfile or a Docker Image to run both applications from?

          Also, do you get any specific errors when the service crashes?

          Regards,
          Bobby

            Servis is not really crashing I believe for some reason frontend app is not finding the backend for like first 1 min of the request (my console log code lets me know it is not finding) then when it finds it images doesn’t load for like 25 min. This is in 2 different apps situation.

            In a single app with 2 components. backend is set to APP_URL/backend but when I go there. dev tools console gives me “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”

            I believe keystone is set to load the admin in “/” route.

            I’m terrible at backend stuff at the moment. So, I’m trying to do relying on the Digital Ocean :)

            Hi there,

            I am not familiar with Keystone do you have a link to the project? I could try to reproduce the problem on my end.
