I added an SSL certificate to my droplet domain, but when I try to open a URL it responds to http://raisze.backend.space:8000/admin and not to https://raisze.backend.space:8000/admin. I am a beginner please help.

Hi @massivegreenbluescubadiver,
First, I’ll recommend adding Nginx as a reverse proxy and configuring the SSL in there. Here is an article on how to achieve that:
From the article check only the Nginx reverse proxy stuff. Once you have nginx and configured to work as a reverse proxy, I’ll recommend to renew your Let’s Encrypt with Certbot and have it apply the HTTPS configuration to Nginx automatically. Running
- certbot renew
and then following the options should do the trick.
Hello there,
I’ll also recommend using Nginx as a reverse proxy for your Django application, on an additional note by using DigitalOcean’s App Platform solution all of that is handled for you.
