Django - SSL with runserver

django-runserver-ssl.md

Instalation

[sudo] apt-get install stunnel

Configuration

cd path/to/django/project
mkdir stunnel
cd stunnel

Create the key:

openssl genrsa 1024 > stunnel.key
openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha1 -days 365 -key stunnel.key > stunnel.cert
cat stunnel.key stunnel.cert > stunnel.pem

Create the dev_https file with:

pid=

cert = stunnel/stunnel.pem
sslVersion = SSLv3
foreground = yes
output = stunnel.log

[https]
accept=8443
connect=8001
TIMEOUTclose=1

Now go to project root and create a runserver file:

stunnel4 stunnel/dev_https &
python manage.py runserver&

Sets the permission:

chmod a+x runserver

The SSL works in:

https://localhost:8443

Thanks for sharing this. Simple and pretty easy!
I had to comment out the "sslVersion = SSLv3" version line since SSL v3 is super deprecated and Chrome freaks out if you try to use that.

Thanks @claudiosanches. Looks so nice.

Thank you @claudiosanches! For future reference, it seems like the stunnel4 command has been deprecated and replaced by stunnel.

Perhaps you are missing python3 (and you are typing python)
