Django-uWSGI-nginx using https

Question

I'm running my DJango app using uwsgi over nginx. it's currently working with these configurations:

[uwsgi] socket = :8002

master = true

env = DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=web_server.web_server.settings

pythonpath = /tmp/src/

wsgi-file = /tmp/src/web_server/web_server/wsgi.py

chdir = /tmp/src/

processes = 4

threads = 2

and my nginx.conf file

upstream django {

server 127.0.0.1:8002;

}

server {

listen 8000;

server_name 192.168.56.104;

charset utf-8;

# Finally, send all non-media requests to the Django server.

location / {
   uwsgi_pass  django;
   include     /tmp/src/web_server/web_server/uwsgi_params;
}

it's working with http.

I want to change it to work with https, but I can't find the right to configuration to make that work anywhere.

What should I change in my configuration in order to work with https?

I already have generated the certificate .

Every server setup and certificate file is a little different with requirements. I would take a look at this documentation digicert.com/ssl-certificate-installation-nginx.htm and post specific technical questions if you can't get it working. — Chris Hawkes

Chris's comment helped me find the solution. in SSL Certificate Installation in Nginx you can find this:

ssl on;

ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/your_domain_name.pem; (or bundle.crt)

ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/your_domain_name.key;

I just added it to my nginx .conf file and that added https to my web server. so the final .conf file looks like this:

upstream django {

server 127.0.0.1:8002;

}

server {

listen 8000;

ssl on;

ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/your_domain_name.pem; (or bundle.crt)

ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/your_domain_name.key;

server_name 192.168.56.104;

charset utf-8;
# Finally, send all non-media requests to the Django server.
location / {
  uwsgi_pass  django;

  include     /tmp/src/web_server/web_server/uwsgi_params;
}
