I’ve currently got a Flask server running via Nginx + Gunicorn on a droplet, and a client website hosted on another hosting provider which connects to the Flask server via a subdomain (api.mydomain.com). Is it possible to serve the NextJS website from the same droplet at the root domain (mydomain.com)? If so, how can this be achieved using Nginx?
Hi,
That’s doable. You’d create a new server block in Nginx for mydomain.com just like you have created for api.mydomain.com and configure the NextJS location block as described on their site:

Hey, thanks for replying!
I’ve followed the instructions on that link, and now I think there’s an issue with the NextJS server not running correctly. I start the server using pm2 start npm --name "next" -- start
But I’m getting this error in the nginx logs.
connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, server: mydomain.com, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/", host: "mydomain.com"
Is there anything else I need to do to get it to work?
