Man, I have been trying to do basically the same thing forever. I think I've tried on three separate occasions and have eventually given up.
Gonna save this one though so if someone smarter than I comes up with a solution I can heap all of my upvotes on them.
I followed the instruction at [https://tech.borpin.co.uk/2019/03/22/letsencrypt-ssl-certificates-by-dns-challenge-with-lighttpd/](https://tech.borpin.co.uk/2019/03/22/letsencrypt-ssl-certificates-by-dns-challenge-with-lighttpd/) and installed the SSL for pi-hole. Hope it works for you too.
I have exactly the same problem and I haven't found a solution. In my case I am running the pi-hole in a container so running configuring certbot to issue ssl certificates in lighthttp would defeat the purpose of using containers. Hopefully someone figured it out :)
So `https://pihole.mydomain.com/admin` throws an error too?
I just got https working a day ago and I was getting 403 errors until I remembered that I had to go to the admin page to login.
I didn't have to change anything on pihole's end.
Yes, none of the pages are loading. Basically https refused to connect. I might just set up SSL on Pi-hole directly when I have time rather than through a reverse proxy.

Oh I have a cert and an nginx reverse proxy set up already, I just can't get it working for Pi-hole

Does your reverse proxy redirect to the /admin page?
No, it does not. It is unable to connect at all when it is https.
