Greetings!

Basically two things need to happen for you to take your existing server, which currently uses Nginx to reverse proxy to a Rails app, and run a Wordpress site alongside it:

  1. New server block defined for Wordpress site.
  2. PHP installed / configured with Nginx, and that server block.

These steps will not be exact, given that you’re not working from a clean slate. However, this guide should make an excellent reference for the steps necessary in this process:
