[ome-users] omero Installation with whitenoise and https

[Simon Li]

Hi Andreas

Django and whitenoise don't support HTTPS directly. Google comes up with a few Django add-ons but they're not recommended for production, the only practical option I'm aware of is to use a webserver/proxy such as Nginx. Since you've configured whitenoise if you already have a web-server on a different machine you could use that to proxy OMERO.web, otherwise have a look at our docs:
https://docs.openmicroscopy.org/omero/5.4.10/sysadmins/unix/install-web/walkthrough/omeroweb-install-centos7-ice3.6.html
