How to run more than one app on one instance of EC2

Question

I have a couple of small production sites and a bunch of fun hobbyist/experimental apps and such. I\'d like to run all of them on one EC2 instance.

Can I install node.js

Already answered @ https://stackoverflow.com/a/50528580/3477353 but mentioning it again.

Adding to the @Daniel answer, I would like to mention the configuration of my nginx for those who are looking for the exact syntax in implementing it.

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name mysite.com;
  location / {
    proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header  Host       $http_host;
    proxy_pass        http://127.0.0.1:3000;
  }
}
server {
  listen 80;
  server_name api.mysite.com;
  location / {
    proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header  Host       $http_host;
    proxy_pass        http://127.0.0.1:4500;
  }
}

Just create two server objects with unique server name and the port address.

Mind proxy_pass in each object.

Thank you.
