Django Channels in Production Mode

Hello, I’m trying to integrate a chat in my app with Django Channels, which works in development mode, but doesn’t work in production mode. This is some error I get: Failed to construct ‘WebSocket’: An insecure WebSocket connection may not be initiated from a page loaded over HTTPS. I’ve done the steps presented in the Django Channels documentation(https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/deploying.html), but it doesn’t work for me. When I try to run the daphne start server command 'daphne -p 6379 muypicky.asgi:application ', the console freezes and it does nothing.

Daphne command:

daphne -p 6379 muypicky.asgi:application                                                                                                               
2020-07-21 23:06:43,123 INFO     Starting server at tcp:port=6379:interface=127.0.0.1
2020-07-21 23:06:43,124 INFO     HTTP/2 support not enabled (install the http2 and tls Twisted extras)

2020-07-21 23:06:43,125 INFO     Listening on TCP address 127.0.0.1:6379

I’m not sure where I’m mistaken, any help would be appreciated.

myproject/settings.py

ASGI_APPLICATION = 'muypicky.routing.application'

CHANNEL_LAYERS = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'channels_redis.core.RedisChannelLayer',
        'CONFIG': {
            "hosts": [('hradutiu.pythonanywhere.com', 6379)],
        },
    },
}

@Radutiu-Horatiu . I think pythonanywhere don’t have support for Redis-Server https://www.pythonanywhere.com/forums/topic/12039/ . I have tried most of the cloud services and at last, landed up with a virtual machine to deeply Django channels in production.

Even I tried Redis with other services like an azure Redis catch but it won’t allow running channels in port 6379 in https as this is insecure port. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62861435/django-channels-and-azure

@Radutiu-Horatiu I think heroku has support for this as they have some plugin for redis but I didn’t try… According to me going ahead with virtual machine is the best option.
