I am attempting to launch a personal django app, following this [guide](https://learndjango.com/tutorials/deploy-django-postgresql-flyio) by @wsvincent , and bumping into the following error:

```auto
Creating database migrations
Error failed running /.../.venv/bin/python manage.py makemigrations: exit status 1

```

It happens right after the app is created, with an Admin URL and host name provided.

Might anyone know what could be going wrong?

I just updated that post. I think the issue is related to CSRF\_TRUSTED\_ORIGINS. It should include the `https://` so in the initial stage, before you have a dedicated FLY url,:

CSRF\_TRUSTED\_ORIGINS = [“https://\*.fly.dev”]
