Multiple domains on different ports of the same droplet.

Question

Hello,

I’m running different apps on different ports of my droplet. Everything works fine, but I have to specify the ports explicitly in order to visit the website. How can I make a specific domain point to a specific port?

Configuration: Apps developed in Python 2.7, using Flask. Deployed on CherryPy server. Right now, there are 2 instances of CherryPy, each running different app on different ports (one, the default 80, and another on 8080).

Any help?

You could deploy Nginx in front of the CherryPy servers to act as a reverse proxy and direct traffic. Basically, you’d need to have the CherryPy servers listen on some random port on localhoast, then configure Nginx to pass requests to those ports based on domain names. The Nginx configuration would look something like:

upstream first_server {server 127.0.0.1:3000;} upstream second_server {server 127.0.0.1:4000;} server {listen 80;server_name domain-one.com ; # Settings to serve static files location ^~ /static/ { # root /full/path/to/application/static/file/dir; root /app/static/; } location / { proxy_pass http://firstp_server; proxy_redirect off; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name; } } server {listen 80;server_name domain-two.com ; # Settings to serve static files location ^~ /static/ { # root /full/path/to/application/static/file/dir; root /app/static/; } location / { proxy_pass http://second_server; proxy_redirect off; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name; } }
