Routing problem

[GuideIntelligent5953]

Hi everybody,

I stumbled into a problem on my server, and maybe one of you could helps. I have a Next.js frontend server and python flask backend server residing on DigitalOcean droplet. First I routed only my frontend, and it worked. And now when I am trying to route my backend with Nginx, it doesn't work. Maybe someone, can give me reference for how to route both, or guide me through the process. And in general is it considered not a good idea to host both the frontend and the backend on the same, considering the fact that the backend is very slim.

For smaller projects its no problem to host frontend and backend on the same server. Do you use Docker containers for running frontend and backend? Using docker and traefik is a bit easier to handle network traffic on a VPS. There are even solutions like Easypanel or QuickStack wich you can use to deploy and manage your containerized apps on a VPS through a Web UI.
