Setup Nginx, Apache or some other web proxy server with SSL¶
You need to configure your webserver to act as a reverse proxy that
forwards all traffic from port 443 (the https port) to 127.0.0.0:8002
.
The webserver must use SSL, and it should redirect traffic from port 80 to port 443.
Refer to the Gunicorn documentation for more information.
Nginx config example¶
server {
listen 80;
server_name devilry.example.com;
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl default_server;
server_name devilry.example.com;

error_log /path/to/directory/logs/nginx_error.log;
