On a ubuntu server,run Node.js app and Wordpress together

Question

I'm planning to serve blog.mydomain.com on the same server with my node.js app called mydomain.com.

Is it possible to run these together on the same server ? How can I do that with the usage of Nginx ? Can wordpress and node.js app have the same port if they run together ? It would be great if someone give me a hint to start or any share any resources for me to read.

Answer 1

Create two different nginx conf files for main domain and subdomain like:

1.For main domain which will proxy pass to your node app running on 1234 port

/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mydomain.com -

 server { server_name mydomain.com; access_log /var/log/nginx/mydomain.access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/mydomain.error.log; location / { proxy_pass http://localhost:1234; } } 

2. For subdomain which will proxy pass to your wordpress service running on 5678 port

/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/blog.mydomain.com -

server { server_name mydomain.com;

  access_log /var/log/nginx/mydomain.access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/mydomain.error.log; location / { proxy_pass http://localhost:5678; } }
