I have a VPS (created from the Ubuntu 16.04 image) which I would like to use Dokku for some applications, and others that I would like to set up myself, all using Nginx. Is this possible?
I’m asking because I had configured Nginx to proxy to an internal app that I was running through Docker, and as soon as I installed Dokku, the app I had already set up became unreachable. I was hoping there was a way for the two systems to co-exist.

Just make new virtual host for your applications. You can use /etc/sites-aiviable/ to define ones and then link that file to /etc/sites-enabled

include /etc/nginx/snippets/letsencrypt.conf;
