I use digital ocean and have 0 issues, well other than self inflicted ones

@julian in digitalocean can you install various nodeBB / forums on the same vps ? Thanks

@djcyry yes you can. set them up to run on different ports.

Same install , same commands but different port ? Is here any tut or guide ?
I want to launch 2 projects .
1 . community for djs/producers
2 . nodeBB spanish community
So i want to host booth on same server .

@djcyry just use different folders and different ports.

for your case, during the install when you clone the NodeBB github repository

for example for djs/producers clone to the folder nodebb-djs and for spanish clone to nodebb-spanish

each folder will be a separate installation and use different ports during setup and use a proxy server (apache or nginx...) to proxy to the correct installation

Ok , thanks..
I will try tomorrow .
Also in this case , i need 2 IP adresses ?
Because if using differrents ports and folders i think i dont need 2 IP.

@djcyry not required

[julian]

@djcyry not if you use nginx to reverse proxy.

@djcyry Apache can work too with reverse proxy's if you feel more comfortable with that. Its also documented in the current NodeBB documentation. So long you host the 2 NodeBB forums on different ports it will work without any problems.
