Heya @edwardshark,
If you are using the DigitalOCean App Platform this is all done automatically. With the App Platform, DigitalOcean creates, manages, and renews your SSL certificates automatically. Having said that, you’ll need to set your domain in the app platform.
According to the App Platform documentation, you can only enable HTTPS for custom domains, and not for the default app platform domain (your-app.ondigitalocean.app).
