I have one droplet and I want to run it smoother as possible and that is why I consider adding a load-balancer.

Accepted Answer:
This sounds like it would be configurable in a domain managed by DO. Just using the subdomain routing and setting your wildcard to your DOKS LB and your domain to the IP you mentioned.
