Is it possible to add Cpanel if I already configured my droplet and finished my website?
If it’s possible, please provide me a guide to follow along. It’s my first server config, so I wouldn’t want to proceed without a confirmation, thanks.

Hello, 305gm
I strongly recommend installing cPanel on a fresh Droplet, otherwise, it could cause issues with your existing Droplet, and also the installation is most likely to fail.
This is also the suggestion from the official cPanel documentation:
Only install cPanel & WHM on a freshly-installed operating system.
However, if you want to give it a try anyway, in order to install cPanel on an existing server you can use this command here:
Note that you should definitely take a backup of your Droplet before doing so.
Hope that this helps. Regards, Alex
Hello, @305gm
You can check our existing tutorial on how to install cPanel here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-cpanel-on-a-virtual-server-running-centos-6
You can also check the official cPanel installation guide:

cPanel is a third party application which is also available through our Marketplace. New installations of cPanel come with a 15 day free trial. For further use beyond that point a valid license will need to be purchased directly through cPanel. https://store.cpanel.net/view/cpanel/license-options?type=VPS
Keep in mind that if you use the one-click app this will spin up a new droplet. If you still want to use your existing droplet you can check the first two links that I’ve sent.
