Hello,

If you are using the App platform there is no need to add Nginx.

The App Platform takes care of the server-side of things and the SSL certificate set up for you automatically.

Is there a specific reason why you need to add Nginx as well?

You would usually need Nginx so that you could install an SSL certificate, but this would be required in case that you were deploying your Django application on a Droplet as per the instructions here:

Best,
Bobby

Django is a powerful web framework that can help you get your Python application or website off the ground. Django includes a simplified development server for testing your code locally, but for anything even slightly production related, a more secure and powerful web server is required.
