Django Multi Tenant Tutorial Using Subdomains - Basic Implementation

Learn how to implement multi tenancy using Django with the use of subdomains.
The tenants will share the same database, but I separate them using subdomains. I test it locally by using the hosts file on my mac.
If you want to test this your self, you can add "fake" domains to your hosts file on your computer.

[@IllevensKO]

@@CodeWithStein also at 01:53 you say that you setup example to point to localhost - how did you do that ?

[@CodeWithStein]

Hi, not multi tenancy the way I have done it here no :/ just with regular foreignkeys on the time tracking saas tutorial 👍🏻

[@CodeWithStein]

I Edit my hosts file. Both Windows and Mac has this. And then I point «fake» domain names to 127.0.0.1 👍🏻

You will want to add a unique index to the subdomain or you could have issues with multiple parties attempting to register the same subdomain.

[@CodeWithStein]

Hi, that’s a good point! I didn’t think about it when I created the video :/

[@fblumescobar]

1st of all, thankyou!! Is this for single schema multitenancy or multiple schema multi tenancy?

[@VinamraVj]

Awesome Tutorial, just wanted to know how to assign the tenant in view while registering user? i really am stuck with it.

[@CodeWithStein]

Thanks :-D It's a bit too much to explain here in the comment section. But you basically just need to create a userprofile model (or a team model) where you assign a subdomain. And then in the function where you register the user, you add the subdomain as well :-)

[@shadrackdanford5533]

Greetings all the way from Tanzania Is this shared table multitenancy architecture? How do you handle tenant logic in practical app? Say you are building platform such as ZohoCMS where by multiple organization might has different data? How do you optimize ORM queries?

[@CodeWithStein]

Hi, that's a long way from Norway :-D Yes, that is correct. All the tenants share the same database/tables. You can use this code in any types of django app, it will help you separate the data. Optimizing queries can be done in many different ways. The most used are functions like select_related and prefetch_related. These are used to implement joins. I suggest that you take a look at Django Toolbar, this is really helpful when it comes to optimization :-)

[@inouguys8136]

how to add a home/index page to this project, 127.0.0.1:8000, for home page, and subdomains for tenants. Is it possible?

[@CodeWithStein]

Hi, that’s possible 👍🏻 I don’t have the code here now. You probably just need to add the view like you normally do, and don’t include the url check I added in the video 😉

[@lohith1399]

is it possible to add social auth to login into different schemas with different emails????

[@CodeWithStein]

Hi, I think so yes. But I haven’t done it my self. You can try to read a little bit about Djoser. This is a django package ☺️

[@rayanali9737]

how would i automate the updating of hosts file @ 10:53 ?

[@CodeWithStein]

Hey, you can use some sort of python or similar to update the files automatically when a user sign up :-)

[@rayanali9737]

@@CodeWithStein ok sir

[@softservemedia6543]

@Stein excellent share thank you! I've [relatively new with Django] been searching for a m'tenant solution for my app for some time. Ive tried various django packages. The app requires the tenant to access both template end and admin end. The app uses custom user setup. Using the subdomain approach, will the tenant admin also be separated? If so, will I need a superuser per tenant? [which is ok for me].

[@CodeWithStein]

Thank you :-) The admin will not be separated, but it can be. If you check out this link (books.agiliq.com/projects/django-multi-tenant/en/latest/shared-database-shared-schema.html) at the bottom of the page. There is a little code snippet you can use to separate the admins :-)

[@softservemedia6543]

@@CodeWithStein Thank you again! :) ... I tried the link but its broken I think ... but its okay I shall access the Agiliq book. Another thought ... How about using your subdomain concept to set the "default" database to a tenant specific database [suee Ill have to migrate many times :)] ... or database[default].schema[tenant specific] in settings.py ... possible[?] ... just to explain a little more : my app will have maximum 50 or so tenants with each tenant having around [max] 200 users .... amount of users will range from 15 to about 200.

What is advantages of this ?

Hey, it makes it easier to separate teams and similar from each other. Typically used for SaaS 😉

[@sanjaykrishnan8379]

I loved this approach. But I am still confused, which is better..single schema filtered data like you showed or having multi schema for each tenant?

[@CodeWithStein]

It depends on the Security. Some types of applications requires a higher level of security. And the more secure you want it, the more separated you need it ☺️

[@dynarielinnovations6361]

can we use this to create a multiple vendors for an e commerce?

Yes and no. It might be a cool way to separate their login, but I’m not going to use this in the series I am making 😉

[@TheGoggs]

Just curious as to why you wouldn't use the django sites framework for this?

[@CodeWithStein]

I don’t have much experience with the sites framework, but could you achieve the same with it?

[@TheGoggs]

@@CodeWithStein Yeah, the model is pretty much the same as what you did. And has a similar helper function for determining the active "tenant". docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/ref/contrib/sites/

[@CodeWithStein]

Thanks, I will take a closer look 👍🏻

[@pedlezelnip]

@@TheGoggs I don't think that's quite the same: sites seems like it's for sharing data between multiple sites, whereas multitenancy is all about completely isolating multiple sites from each other.

Hi Patrick! i haven’t really used the sites framework so much. Can you give the users separate logins based on the subdomain and similar?

@@CodeWithStein from what I remember it is very similar to what you’ve done in the video with many helpers. Nothing wrong with re-implementing for learning or alternative use cases of course! I’ll actually attempt using it again for a personal project.
