I would also like to know the suggested way to redirect http to https requests. I tried using flask-talisman but then my Dash app gets stuck “Loading…”

Put ssl\_context=‘adhoc’ when calling server.run.  
I use Gunicorn and then add the absolute paths to the certificates in the arguments of the wsgi file.

I ended up using SSLify even though it is supposedly outdated, the redirect from flask-talisman is not working on heroku, as warned.

Could you share how you did it with SSlify? When I add it like this the app does not work.

```auto
app = dash.Dash(' __name__', external_stylesheets=[dbc.themes.BOOTSTRAP],
                meta_tags=[{'name': 'viewport',
                            'content': 'width=device=width, initial-scale=1.0'}],
                update_title=None
                )
sslify = SSLify(app)
server = app.server

```

That didn’t work for me either. Is there anything you need to do other than that? Do you end the app with the below?

```auto
if __name__ == ' __main__':
    app.run_server()

```

When I push to heroku and open the app, it just says the app has an error - the standard heroku error page… When I remove SSLify, it works fine however.

You may want to look at your Heroku logs to further debug the issue.

[Here is my pyproject.toml](https://github.com/schlich/gram/blob/master/pyproject.toml) if it’s helpful, you may want to match your dependency versions to what’s in mine. I vaguely remember needing to downgrade my SSLify version or something similar.
