I have added a fresh droplet with MySQL from the one-click apps to my account. The entire setup is working fine and I can access PhpMyAdmin as well as log in through terminal to change whatever I want. I used to set up SSL on my other droplets manually, but read it can be done automatically in this article.
Quick question: can I do this automatically and if so, how? Or do I need to go through the entire process using Certbot, changing proxies etc?
Thanks!

Hey friend,
I would say that certbot should do just fine for this, though I’m not certain what you are referring to with proxies. This guide should work well:

Hi,
This works just fine and I know have a URL https://database.mywebsite.com which redirects correctly to the MySQL database login via phpmyadmin. However, I can still access the IP address of the MySQL server with regular http. (http://xxx.xx.xxx.xx/phpmyadmin) which then indicates “not secure” in my browser.
My server communicates with the MySQL database via SSL certificates so I’m confident this works correctly, however I can’t find any information on how to secure the IP address itself so accessing the root or phpmyadmin is forced over a secure connection.
