Django + https on localhost

Question

I have files of TLS certificate(.crt) and key(.key) How can i add them in settings.py and run localhost with https( it is need to add them as text variables not path to these files)? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Django runserver does not implement HTTPS and it was not meant to be used in production anyway. There is a package that works similarly with support for SSL ( django-sslserver ) but rather than using it I would consider setup of NGINX or Apache similar to what could be used in production.
