forget NixOS. I understand that for seasoned users it might be a cool thing, but as I see you may be a beginner, and you totally don't need that.
docker is solid advice though. use that and a reverse proxy, like nginx or apache (they are complete web servers with revproxy capabilities), and put different services on different subdomains of the machine's hostname (like api.etesync.mypc.lan, and web.etesync.mypc.lan). that way you basically run multiple services with the same IP and port, and the reverse proxy separates the different traffic of services by looking at the subdomain.
if I'm right that you're a beginner, take your time, you're not in a rush. it will work out, but you're learning, it might take some patience here and there
