A question about running Tomcat alongside of Apache or NginX

[in...@bureau-de-poste.net]

  Hello All,

I have a general question about installing and running OM on an  
existing server serving web pages with Apache or NginX server. Does  
this type of congiruataion cause any known problems for OM? ( For  
example having apache or NginX running - could that possible cause a  
part of OM to go down, when it wouldn't have if OM had been installed  
on a stand alone server. I don't mean because of not enough resources  
available.)?

We have some existing web servers running apache 2.4 or NginX latest  
which have a lot of free resources, and I have installed OM on them  
and it appears to run fine alongside the web sites we server with  
Apache or NginX. Once I had coturn stop unexpectedly, but couldn't  
determine why.  

In any case, can anyone point out any obvious problems or potential  
pitfalls to this approach? It has advantages (such as the automatic  
creation and renewal of Let's Encrypt certificates (with open source  
hosting management panels), hosting a moodle site - or other website  
to sell managed OM servies, for example - alongside the OM site, cost,  
resource and time savings,  etc.

Thanks for any heads up on this approach.

Best,

Ed

All 3 demo servers are using Apache HTTPD as front end proxy
The only advantages I can see are
- automatic certificate renewal
- other sites services can be served by this Apache server
