Discourse with Cloudflare and Digital Ocean

I’m not sure if that’s a rhetorical question.

I was trying to follow the recommendations laid out here under Best Practices.

I’m new to Discourse and this installation. If there is a How-To for ensuring I can properly turn on Full (Strict), that’s what I am looking for. If there is no need for such a step, then I am open to reviewing anything else that I should do to follow “Best Practices”

EDIT: After considering ljpp’s brief and insightful remark, I reviewed the Discourse installation instructions. I want to point out under the heading 11. (Optional) Add More Discourse Features, the How-To that I was looking for was under “Paid HTTPS / SSL support?”

Once I followed those steps, I EASILY managed to turn on Full (Strict) and I am pleased with the results.

I did not draw a connection that this was what I was looking for. I was accustomed to self-hosting projects as a hobbyist, and I am now enjoying the learning process for Discourse.
