Thanks so much sir. I was able to get Django tenant running for a project with no hassles cos of this video. Once again thank you for your time and effort.

I've been watching this gist from time to time. It is really incredible. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Tom, I really appreciate the work that you have put up in here. This video is a life saver. Hoping to see more works on django tenants from your end. Once again, thank you for this wonderful tutorial.

Thanks Tom, I think I am finally starting to get my head around Django tenants! Great video

[@dominiquekym7985]

oohhh, this was life saving for me. Thank you

[@MrGdanny]

I don't usually comment on youtube videos to thank, but this video deserves it. Thanks Tom for an excellent package and a fantastic introductory video, even with my basic english I was able to understand everything.

I'm pushing to launch my tech startup and intending to build a solution for the public using Multi-Tenants as the bedrock of the idea's success... I really have some questions running through my mind... But i'll have to watch your remaining videos to see if I can get the answers...

Hi Tom, thank you so much for this project. The shared DB with dedicated schema approach is really great for small startups. Would it be possible to create a tutorial on signing up tenants and creating tenant superusers from the frontend?

[@ProSimples]

I am looking for this approach as well but it is being very hard to find the answer since there are new data laws in EU and other countries. The ones I have found are outdated.

Can you upload a video showing how to automatically create subdomains and superuser once new tenant registers in the SaaS website?

[@alexgaetanopadula4057]

i think this would happen automatically with whatever client is in the database.

Thanks man, i appreciate your time and effort. It was very helpful. A quick one, TENANT_MODEL = "client.Client" # app.Model TENANT_DOMAIN_MODEL = "client.Domain" # app If i have multiple tenants, how do i register them like this (TENANT_MODEL and TENANT_DOMAIN_MODEL)?

Question for you Tom..... I want to create a "register" page on the shared apps side that enables people to create their own tenant rather than me entering it manually every time. How can I do this?

[@jesussamaelmoralemus8120]

Bárbaro, increíble!

[@mosalam208]

thanks Tom for the video , I have been using the library for a while now, but the only thing I'm struggling with is the documentation sometimes its not covering the right way to setup stuff and have to dive deep into the source code to know what to do ! it would be great if you can do a video about writing unit tests with pytest and django_tenants cuz this part is a bit vague now for me and I would like to start writing tests for it thanks

[@AdnanNazirAhmed]

why my migrate_schemas --shared isn't being recognized??? Any idea what could a person be missing? Edit my bad, didn't include 'django_tenants', in apps. Wasn't mentioned in docs either 😀😀😀

[@DirtySouth33T]

Tom thanks for the video! What is the proper way to use a custom user model with django tenants? Is it ok to use it in the tenant app and shared at the same time? The shared one is essentially for creating tenants and deleting them etc... the tenant specific one is so tenants can add tenant specific users..?

[@JillOverlord]

Very cool video. It was very helpful! Thank you! And I have one question, maybe you can answer: only in my case django-tenants corrupts grappelli app? Sorry for my english...

[@tomspythonanddjango6269]

Thats becuase Django Tenants overwrites some default admin templates

[@reynel4402]

Hi Tom, thank you for this very useful package, i think i am missing something. how do you specified the domain when creating a tenant using subfolders? you have schema name: demo, name: demo, domain: ???. Thanks in advance.

[@mikaeldoctore8200]

We also need more commands that makes taking care of things on django-tenants feel like breeze

[@tomspythonanddjango6269]

What commands would you like to see.

[@mikaeldoctore8200]

@@tomspythonanddjango6269 some commands could be a 1. to seeding provided by django-tenants with dummy data despite tenant_command, django itself is limited here, so a hand is needed. specific schemas or all schemas, options if tenant , else shared or both 2. Commands to auto update existing tables in tenants(already in multi tenant with data) or out of tenants(assuming single tenant) to be updated easily . assuming a change of a field name and or type is made, from "UID" to "tracking" with migrate_schemas I think there is a lot of limitations since it skips changes to migration during updates from what I have noticed. It works but not reflected in the database 3. follow up on 2. especially is the upgrade deals with a field that is meant to be unique or not null, since during updates it asks for a default value which in the case of uniqueness, it cannot be null and can not have a default 4. a reset for tenant(s) in case is necessary, so a user can reset all the changes made which will auto drop and auto create the table(s) within the schema or schemas e.g ./manage.py tenant_command --reset ---schema=demo1 or --schema="*" --exclude-public or --include-public which will do an iterative reset for all schemas excluding or including-public , default could be either exclude or include 5. commands to support django in apii mode with DRF with api testing for now thats all

[@mikaeldoctore8200]

and maybe commands to lock a user from accessing a schema once subscription expires

[@mikaeldoctore8200]

one last thing is set up, apart from the tutorial and django's default can we have a set up that auto generates a tenant project like a wrapper around django if new or for single to multi tenant architectures, can auto generate files for tenants and override some defaults including settings which can still be modified further, check if there is existing django-tenants installed or not , asks for upgrades if a old version is used , checks for API or MVT mode, etc, will be very useful and django-tenants will defintely gain more users and more users with more subscribeers on your channel

[@mikaeldoctore8200]

and lastly Thank you Tom for the efforts you have put in so far, for django-tenants, God Almighty himself will reward your good deeds
