Hello, @omnaidu

The process is pretty much the same however, you need to deploy PHPMyAdmin in the subdomain’s root directory.

You can use the same command in order to create the symlink:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/your_subdomain/phpmyadmin

To access the interface, go to your subdomain name followed by /phpmyadmin in your web browser:

https://subdomain/phpmyadmin

Hope that this helps!
Regards,
Alex

I think you misunderstood, I want to access phpmyadmin when I go to sub domain not sub directory

  The subdomain also has a virtual host and a document root. In the virtual host, you can give the path for the document root to the phpMyAdmin instalation.

Add the subdomain in your digitalocean domains part for the domain
create a virtualhost in nginx to accept requests from the subdomain e.g server_name subdomain.mydomain.com
in the virtualhost conf, point to the respective folder for your phpmyadmin

  All the specific steps are in the article, which I assume you’ve followed and gotten the phpmyadmin installed and running, right?
  
  In that case, you’re almost there. The steps above adds the subdomain part for DO to know where to send subdomain requests to, and nginx just to know how to handle such requests.
  
  How to add subdomain in DO: https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/dns/how-to/add-subdomain/
  
  Since you’re new to this, I’d suggest you spend few minutes to get familiar with the nginx virtualhost confs

  Nginx is one of the most popular web servers in the world. In this guide, we will discuss how Nginx selects the server and location block that will handle a given client's request. We will go over the algorithm in place, as well as the directives and options you can use to modify the selection process.
