Hello,
I have a WordPress site on apache web server with Let’s Encrypt certbot running. Is it possible to setup Nginx reverse proxy on top of existing setup?

Accepted Answer
Yes, you can do this in a single droplet or in a multi-droplet configuration.
In in a single droplet config you will need to update your Apache config for your WordPress site updating the port number. This could be anything really that does not conflict with another service - for example 81 or 8080
Next you will need to install NGINX
Then to handle your SSL you would need to perform a setup like the following
One change in the above is that you will be operating with only one application server (Apache) as your backend unless you decide to add more.
Yes, you can do this as I have done that with my website too. Moreover, you would get good results if you use load balancer with SSL.
