Typical Django settings

• SECRET_KEY - A secret key for a particular Django installation. This is used to provide cryptographic signing, and should be set to a unique, unpredictable value.
• DEBUG - A boolean that turns on/off debug mode. If your app raises an exception when DEBUG is True, Django will display a detailed traceback, including a lot of metadata about your environment, such as all the currently defined Django settings (from settings.py).
• ALLOWED_HOSTS - A list of strings representing the host/domain names that this Django site can serve. This is a security measure to prevent HTTP Host header attacks, which are possible even under many seemingly-safe web server configurations. See details at Django docs.
• CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS - A list of trusted origins for unsafe requests See details at Django docs.
