ubuntu - Can a server run Nginx for some sites and Apache Nginx Reverse Proxy for others? -

on server ideally i'd serve own static , wordpress sites using cloudflare > varnish > nginx since i'd hosting others sites testing such joomla , wordpress rely on multiple extensions use .htaccess , such, wouldn't able run sites through nginx. i'd run sites on same server cloudflare > varnish > nginx reverse proxy > apache.

the server has 1 ip address , runs ubuntu , php-fpm , mysql. each site have own separate domain name. possible?

server {     server_name example.com;     location / {         # assuming apache on port 81 example         proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:81;         # make apache detect host header         proxy_set_header host $host;     }  # if have assets folders, can let nginx serve them directly, # instead of passing them apache      location /images { # or /css or /js .. etc         try_files $uri =404;     } } 

note: in case of assets, sites serve assets through rewrites, or handled application self, can pass apache adding in assets location fallback this

location /images {     try_files $uri @apache; } location @apache {     proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:81; } 

in apache create virtual host

<virtualhost *:81>     servername example.com     # rest of config if needed </virtualhost>
