Did you run into a specific problem? What have you tried?

Most admin panels are just a sub folder - example: Wordpress - the blog is in / and the admin panel is in /wp-admin

Your frontend and backend can use different frameworks / languages, etc... You could put the admin panel on a different server / sub domain, etc... but that's a bit excessive for your run of the mill blog.

Write some code - try some stuff out and if you run into a specific problem, ask about that.

The problem I encounter is that I dont want to no authorized users to have the posibility to read whats in the admin panel (not the data). So if I make the entire website with React on 1 domain, they could read the compile app and see whats in the admin panel.

NodeJS has the ability to run code only on the server. If your still worried about JS leaking out and someone reverse engineering your code, switch to a language that only runs on the server such as C#, PHP, Python, Perl, Ruby, etc...
