Too many redirects error - Django Channels deployment using Nginx and Daphne

I’m running a Django Channels app on DigitalOcean, Ubuntu 16.04 using Daphne and Nginx. I’m trying to make this as simple as possible right now, I just want to be able to go to my domain name and see my app being served.

Followed this post.

“Nginx will only be used as a proxy for your django application, your django application will be running with daphne. And you should have daphne running on 127.0.0.1:8001 (or change the port to your likings).”

I have enabled Let’s Encrypt SSL for my page and told all http requests to be redirected to https.

My page is showing the error

myapp.com redirected you too many times.

I’m running daphne on 127.0.0.1:8001.

daphne -b 127.0.0.1 -p 8001 myapp.asgi:application

I can see the app on my VPM droplet’s ip address if I run the below command, but obviously I want to see the app on myapp.com, not the IP address!

daphne -b 44.444.444.444 -p 8001 myapp.asgi:application

my nginx config file

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name myapp.com www.myapp.com;
    server_tokens off;
    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
    server_name myapp.com www.myapp.com;

    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/myapp.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/myapp.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot

    location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }

    location /static/ {

    }

    location /media/  {
        root /home/me/myapp/src/myapp;
    }

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ @python_django;
    }

    location @python_django {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8001;
        proxy_pass_request_headers on;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_redirect off;
    }
}

I’ve spent weeks trying to get this to work and obviously need help. I’ve looked through the docs and
