Am I supposed to do anything special when installing Discourse on a different device compared to Nginx if they’re sharing the same IP?

Am I supposed to open different ports for them due to them sharing the same IP, might be a stupid question but I’m not 100% with networking and it doesn’t hurt to ask.

Thanks in advance,
