I have a subdomain, lets say example.mysite.com. I want it to point to my.ip:3838. Is there a way to do this, so it still shows example.mysite.com in the address bar? Whenever I try it in the add records part of the droplet it says that I can’t redirect to an IP. I have Shiny Server and Rstudio installed on the IP and I would like the subdomains to be a clean place for me to navigate to them from.
I have wordpress installed on the mysite.com domain and would like to keep that there. I’m also using other subdomains with a basic index.html file and that is working fine.
Thanks!

I’d take a look at the guide below here at DigitalOcean:
That should provide more insight as to how to go about setting up Apache to function as a proxy. More specifically, you want to look at Modifying The Default Configuration. You can skip the load balancing portion as it’s not relevant (unless you’re trying to load balance).
