Ask HN: 2 apps, 1 server?

1 points by aaossa 9y ago

Hi HN, I'm currently working in a project that implies to develop an API (Rails + Postgres) and a Telegram bot (Python). I have access to one server, so I'm looking for the best way to allow those two apps to live together. Some ideas: * Run both apps, different ports * Redirect an API route to the bot internally (I don't like it) * Use another Python app to redirect routes to the right app. Do you have any suggestion? I read about using multiple apps on the same server, but what's the best approach? Thanks HN!

Just set up virtual hosts. One for each app?

  I've never work with virtual hosts. Nice to have something to read about today, thanks!

I moved to "one server per app" model, but in the past what I did to run multiple apps on one server: - create a separate unix user for each app, to separate them - each app runs on a different port - configure nginx as a proxy with virtual host. Today I might use https://caddyserver.com/ https://caddyserver.com/ instead of nginx - I would write ansible scripts to automate deployment
