Is it possible to run a second meteor app (website) on my single droplet?

Question

I am running a meteor app on Ubuntu 16.04 that serves up a website. Would like to serve another website (different domain) on same droplet. Is this possible?

It works now. Missing piece was the server block config for ‘root’ for each site as explained hereHow To Set Up Nginx Server Blocks (Virtual Hosts) on Ubuntu 16.04 .I also removed all ‘default_server’ settings for each site. Presume that second site redirected to first one due to it being set as ‘default_server’. Thanks to @jtittle for all the help!
