How to get Django Tenants up and running

[@federbro]

you don't always see project maintainers making video tutorials. i really appreciate your effort

[@tomspythonanddjango6269]

Thank you

[@sharashellAcademy]

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.

[@rahulramesh460]

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.

[@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.

[@tomspythonanddjango6269]

Thanks. Glad it helps.

[@President_Ragnar]

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...

[@AmoahDevLabs]

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

[@MikeSmithgb]

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

[@user-cu2yc6wn2s]

Great tutorial. I've followed and am wondering why in my case the superuser does not get the tenant app model disabled in the admin panel.

[@adrianloo6173]

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 The ones I have found are outdated.

[@Teapot_418]

Thanks for the walkthrough Tom, hope to see more content from you. Keep it up!

[@gursimranjitsingh7621]

easiest demo, surely only who made this can this level of demo. i have seen many videos for this but coldnt understand the main flow. now i get it and can customize how my app is structured thanks

[@twattusbobble9845]

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?

[@innovator48]

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.

Thank you

[@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..?

[@edmarmsampaio]

Great job! It's a very solid and well-designed piece of software.

[@tomspythonanddjango6269]

Thank you

Great tutorial, Tom. Very helpful to hear from the package maintainer. I am getting an error when I add the line: "SHOW_PUBLIC_IF_NO_TENANT_FOUND = True" to the settings file. I get the following error in the terminal: "... SHOW_PUBLIC_IF_NO NameError: name 'SHOW_PUBLIC_IF_NO' is not defined"

[@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

[@tomspythonanddjango6269]

Thats becuase Django Tenants overwrites some default admin templates

[@anointedgeorge1646]

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)?

Hi Tom, I am trying to use django tenant for multi-DB setup , that is 2 databases. and wanted to override the TenantSyncRouter and make minor changes specific for my requirement. . How can I override it? or you have any other inputs for those who want to implement multi-DB using django-tenant?

[@tomspythonanddjango6269]

Personally I would use it with multiple databases as you will lose some of the features. I think it you look though the issues in github someone might have asked the same question.

[@evrenbingol7785]

This is great but how do you go to public if you do not have show_public_if_no_Tenant_found. Like i want it to go to 404 unless the public url is typed explicitly. like public.localhost but when I do that it is not routed. Thanks

[@tomspythonanddjango6269]

Write your own middleware. It’s really simple as you just base it of one that in the system. I have done that for my own project

What's the difference between django_tenants and django_tenant_schemas ?

[@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
