Unless you really need phpMyAdmin, I would recommend a more secure approach that is using a MySQL client (such as MySQL Workbench, HeidiSQL, etc.) and accessing the MySQL server through an SSH tunnel.

To set up the tunnel, run:

ssh root@droplet-ip -L 3306:127.0.0.1:3306 -N

on your local machine, and configure your SQL client to connect to 127.0.0.1 on port 3306.

Hi @534878350

You can have a look at this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-phpmyadmin-on-a-lemp-server

If your web-root is different than /usr/share/nginx/www, then you need to change that to reflect your setup.
