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.

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:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-django-with-postgres-nginx-and-gunicorn-on-ubuntu-16-04
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
and then following the options should do the trick.
