I’m just wondering if anyone has tried this. Seems like a $5/month digital ocean droplet should be able to support a dozen different toy apps in various stages of development. I’m guessing I can just use different ports for the three apps when I deploy with mupx and then configure my droplet to support multiple domains somehow. Has anyone tried this?

Yes. I have two dev apps and a live one, runs great. I don’t have much traffic there now, so I don’t know what the scale limit is. I host the database and the app on the same $5 server.
do you use mupx? If so, how do you configure it?
I use mup, not mupx.
First app mup.json
{
// Server authentication info
"servers": [
{
"host": "Domains",
"username": "root",
"pem": "/root/.ssh/id_rsa",
"sshOptions": { "Port" : 22 }
}
],
// Install MongoDB in the server, does not destroy local MongoDB on future setup
"setupMongo": true,
// WARNING: Node.js is required! Only skip if you already have Node.js installed on server.
"setupNode": true,
// WARNING: If nodeVersion omitted will setup 0.10.33 by default. Do not use v, only version number.
"nodeVersion": "0.10.36",
// Install PhantomJS in the server
"setupPhantom": true,
// Application name (No spaces)
"appName": "myApp",
// Location of app (local directory)
"app": "/home/domains/Meteor/myApp",
// Configure environment
"env": {
"PORT": "45180",
"ROOT_URL": "https://myApp.domain.com"
},
// Meteor Up checks if the app comes online just after the deployment
// before mup checks that, it will wait for no. of seconds configured below
"deployCheckWaitTime": 15
}
Second app mup.json
{
// Server authentication info
"servers": [
{
"host": "Domains",
"username": "root",
"pem": "/root/.ssh/id_rsa",
"sshOptions": { "Port" : 22 }
}
],
// Install MongoDB in the server, does not destroy local MongoDB on future setup
"setupMongo": true,
// WARNING: Node.js is required! Only skip if you already have Node.js installed on server.
"setupNode": true,
// WARNING: If nodeVersion omitted will setup 0.10.33 by default. Do not use v, only version number.
"nodeVersion": "0.10.36",
// Install PhantomJS in the server
"setupPhantom": true,
// Application name (No spaces)
"appName": "myApp1",
// Location of app (local directory)
"app": "/home/domains/Meteor/myApp1",
// Configure environment
"env": {
"PORT": "45280",
"ROOT_URL": "https://myApp1.domain.com"
},
// Meteor Up checks if the app comes online just after the deployment
// before mup checks that, it will wait for no. of seconds configured below
"deployCheckWaitTime": 15
}
Then I use nginx to proxy the traffic to the correct ports from port 443 and 80
server {
listen 80;
server_name myApp.domain.com;
return 301 https://myApp.domain.com$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name myApp.domain.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/ssl-bundle-myApp-domain-com.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/myApp_domain_com.key;
location / {
proxy_pass http://myApp;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forward-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forward-Proto http;
proxy_set_header X-Nginx-Proxy true;
proxy_redirect off;
}
location /images {
alias /opt/myApp/app/programs/web.browser/app/images;
access_log off;
expires max;
}
location /fonts {
alias /opt/myApp/app/programs/web.browser/app/fonts;
access_log off;
expires max;
}
location "^/[a-z0-9]{40}\.(css|js)$" {
root /opt/myApp/app/programs/web.browser;
access_log off;
expires max;
}
}
And the same thing as above for a conf file for the other apps. I’m using subdomains or domains to point to different apps.

This was of great help for me:
http://odlaner.com/host-multiple-meteor-and-ghost-instances-on-digitalocean/
Where did you save the nginx conf ?
This is what i am planning.
Server 1, https://mydomain.com - Fronend app hosted here
Server 2, https://admin.mydomain.com - Admin hosted here
I’m planning to use LetsEncrypt for https
So two servers how do I set it up please ? Can u help ?
If you use mupx you can specify the SSL and just have two instances on the same machine via different url and ports. I’ve got a main url and a screening.mydomain.com for screening purposes
What if I need to deploy 2 meteor apps on the same mongodb instance? Basically I want to try 2 different UI on the same application (version 1 and version 2).
I use mup and digital ocean.
I do this from my production and dev environments – simply have both Meteor apps use the same MONGO_URL.
Great. Do you know if I can configure mup setting to do that for me on each application?
Yes, the MONGO_URL is specified in the mup.json file – just include the same MONGO_URL in both mup.json files for the two apps. I assume you are using an external MongoDB, so in mup.json set setUpMongo to false.
It’s a test machine for now, so everything on the same machine on DO.
Do you know what value should MONGO_URL have if my MongoDB is on the same machine as the Meteor application?
I use
"MONGO_URL": "mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/appName"
Works like a charm

Hi guys! I deployed two apps on two different domains with MUPX and everything cool except the one issue:
APP #1
"env": {
"PORT": "3000",
"ROOT_URL": "http://firstdomain.com"
},
APP #2
"env": {
"PORT": "4000",
"ROOT_URL": "http://seconddomain.com"
},
The issue: If I go to “http://firstdomain.com:4000” I see second app instead of first app and If I go to “http://seconddomain.com:3000” I see first app instead of second app. What should I do to prevent access to second domain through the first one and otherwise?

Should I change the application name in mup.json?
ADD ON TO THE PREVIOUS REPLY – I mean, I need to deploy 2 different versions of the same app, but I suppose that mup uses the appName to create a directory structure for each deployment on the server.
Yes just create one mup for ‘appName1’ and another for ‘appName2’ both can have the same repository providing exactly the same files just two configurations. You could also use a settings file maybe to enable debugging info on one (i assume you want a screening and live setup?)
Hope u all the best with it
