Using a third-party file manager on a Node website?

I want to use TinyMCE and its file manager plugin moxiemanager in a NodeJS website. The problem is, the file manager backend is in PHP, and my webserver may not even have PHP installed. I found no info on using it with Node (which is a bit surprising, since this is the most popular solution out there).I see to options here:Install PHP and enable it for file manager URLs. This would be very inconvenient, as a understand, a separate web would be needed instead of just expressjs. I am also not sure how secure this is.Write my own custom backend for the file manager. This looks like the simplest and most robust solution. I was hoping it already exists in open source, but apparently it doesn't.What should I do? Are there other options?Thanks!
