Beginner asking for advice on self hosting a lemmy instance (lemmy.world)

I am new to the world of self hosting a site, however I do currently have a web application thing successfully running on a digital ocean droplet with a free domain name.

I would like to attempt to additionally host a lemmy instance and was planning on following this guide: https://github.com/ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy?tab=readme-ov-file

Ideally I would like both of these things to run on the same ubuntu droplet. In my mind this should technically be possible with using docker to give each thing their own little corner being a good way to approach it.

However, I think the easy deploy lemmy uses caddy and the other thing I have users nginx, can both of these things work alongside each other fine if they have their own ports?

Is this a good way of approaching this or should I just make the lemmy instance its own droplet and go from there? Should I use something other than the lemmy easy deploy?

Do you have any other advice?

Thanks, if this is the wrong community for this can someone point me to the right one, I'm relatively new to lemmy.

We suggested it on the Yunohost site and they started it. The other person I'm working with I think made some progress but we're new and don't really have the time to try and figure a bunch of stuff out.

I think there's a file you have to delete and there's some stuff in the cytube config the Yunohost installer hasn't been setup to edit properly yet.
