Answer 1

If you're configuring a database URL, you can pass options as query parameters:

DATABASE_URL=postgres://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/NAME?sslmode=require

This works with both Django Configurations and with Django Environ. Django Configurations is built off of dj_database_url, so you can also pass ssl_require=True as @frmdstryr said:

DATABASES = values.DatabaseURLValue(environ_required=True, ssl_require=True)
