HTTPS for Shiny apps?

Question

Any ideas how I can add HTTPS to Shiny apps?

I came across a few guides below but not sure whether they are reliable or not.

Adding Authentication to Shiny Server in 4 Simple Steps

ADD AUTHENTICATION TO SHINY SERVER WITH NGINX

Shiny https: Securing Shiny Open Source with SSL

I probably should follow the one from r-bloggers because I have my Shiny server installed in Linode hosting servers.

Any ideas?

EDIT:

I want to add https to my app's url, eg - currently I access my app via http://myshinyapp.org but I need https://myshinyapp.org as well.

Apparently this can't be done. From the official docs published by RStudio:

shinyapps.io does not currently support secure URLs for custom domains. The URLs you define in the application settings are accessible only via the http protocol, not the https protocol.

So if you want to use your custom domain (e.g., myshinyapp.org instead of myname.shinyapps.io/myshinyapp), you have to use http, not https.
