= Deploying two separate strapi instances on Ubuntu (18.04) VPS, running Nginx? =

![ ](httpswww.redditstatic.com/desktop2x/img/renderTimingPixel.png)

Hello!

I have created two Vue websites for clients, that both receive data from (their own separate) Strapi API.

It's my first time deploying Strapi for production. I have one VPS, running Ubuntu 18.04, where I would like to deploy both separate Strapi instances. I have setup Nginx.

Does anyone have experience with such a scenario? Do I need to setup two database instances? I am new to deploying databases, so any pointers would be extremely welcome I hope this post is clear – Thank you so much in advance!

It would be recommended to have two different databases, one for each app. But there should be no issues running multiple Strapi apps on the same server, assuming there is enough resources for both :)

Thank you so much for your reply! I have managed to get the installation working on the server, running

*postgresql* as the database. If I would like Strapi on my local development machine to run with sqlite, and the production (on the VPS) to run with postgresql, are there any tutorials available for that (such that I can use git to update the same master folder/repository, while deploying using a different database)? I have not been able to find any clear ones myself.
