I believe that the ssl module is installed by default and should already be available to you. It is included in the Ubuntu packages used to build the one-click and enabling SSL for your site should just be a matter of adding a certificate and the appropriate configuration.

If you want to get set up with a free SSL certificate for your droplet, this guide will walk you through setting up a LetsEncrypt certificate.

How To Secure Nginx with Let's Encrypt on Ubuntu 16.04
by Mitchell Anicas
In this tutorial, we will show you how to use Let's Encrypt to obtain a free SSL certificate and use it with Nginx on Ubuntu 16.04. We will also show you how to automatically renew your SSL certificate. If you're running a different web server, simply follow your web server's documentation to learn how to use the certificate with your setup.
