I have set up my first website using Django with Postgres, Nginx, and Gunicorn on Ubuntu 18.04. I’m curious as to what further steps I could take to make my site more secure. For example how do I make my site HTTPS secure? I’m sorry if this is a dumb question. I’m pretty new at this.

If you want to secure your Django website, you’ll need to look into a couple of areas like:
