Running Droplet with Python Flask and NodeJS

Hi @RizLord,

There won’t be any issues, I can confirm this as this is something I’ve tried many many times. You can have as many and different apps as you won’t as long as you use free ports on your server for them.

Additionally, if you are already using Nginx, you can configure it as a reverse proxy for your App to the NodeJS’s port.

All in all, you are 70% complete with Nginx, you just need to configure NodeJS and your Nginx configuration to be used as a reverse proxy. You can take pointers from this tutorial:

Hey @RizLord,

Shouldn’t be a problem at all. Just make sure you run your node.js applications on different ports.

Use NGINX proxying functionality to point different routes to different ports.

Here’s an example:

location /route {
    proxy_pass  http://127.0.0.1:9999/;
}

Where 9999 is your node.js port.
