Heya, @fingers
Do you refer to the DigitalOcean control panel or your droplet is running software like cPanel or Plesk that comes with a control panel which offers the option to manage SSL Certificates from there?
Regards
Heya @fingers,
Some product features, like load balancer SSL termination and custom Spaces CDN endpoints, require SSL certificates. You can view and manage your team’s SSL certificates from the control panel.
As such, Certbot is more or less used directly inside your Droplet rather than the Certificates in your account, they are used for other DigitalOcean Products.
