How do I deploy a Django app with SSL using Nginx?

To deploy a Django app with SSL using Nginx, you'll need to follow these steps: 1. Install Nginx and Certbot. 2. Obtain an SSL certificate using Certbot. 3. Configure Nginx to serve your Django app over HTTPS. Would you like detailed steps for each part?

Yes, please provide detailed steps for obtaining the SSL certificate.

First, install Certbot by running sudo apt-get install certbot python3-certbot-nginx. Then, use the command sudo certbot --nginx to automatically obtain and configure your SSL certificate. Follow the prompts to complete the process.

What should I include in the Nginx configuration for my Django app?

In your Nginx configuration, include the following: server block for port 80 to redirect to 443, server block for port 443 with SSL settings, and a location block to pass requests to your Django app's WSGI server.

Can you show me an example of the Nginx configuration?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your_domain.com;
    return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name your_domain.com;

    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/your_domain.com/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/your_domain.com/privkey.pem;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }
}

Make sure to replace your_domain.com with your actual domain.
