Multitenant
-----------

An application for making a Django application multitenant for Entr'ouvert
customers.

Based on https://django-tenant-schemas.readthedocs.org/

It is developed, tested and supported on Django 1.7, but it should work with
Django 1.6 + south.


Install
-------

See also : https://django-tenant-schemas.readthedocs.org/

Set the tenant model:

TENANT_MODEL = 'multitenant.Tenant'

Where are tenants:

TENANT_BASE = '/var/lib/<project>/tenants'

Add the middlewares for multitenant, they must be first:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
'entrouvert.djommon.multitenant.middleware.TenantMiddleware',
'entrouvert.djommon.multitenant.middleware.JSONSettingsMiddleware',
'entrouvert.djommon.multitenant.middleware.PythonSettingsMiddleware',
) + MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES

Define the shared applications:

SHARED_APPS = (
'tenant_schemas',
'entrouvert.djommon.multitenant',
# those are needed for the public apps to work
# add also any application needed by the public app
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
)

TENANT_APPS = INSTALLED_APPS

INSTALLED_APPS = ('entrouvert.djommon.multitenant',
'tenant_schemas') + INSTALLED_APPS

# or, with Django 1.6 or older:
# INSTALLED_APPS += ('tenant_schemas', 'entrouvert.djommon.multitenant')

Use multitenant database engine:

DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'tenant_schemas.postgresql_backend',
'NAME': '<db_name>',
},
}
DATABASE_ROUTERS = (
'tenant_schemas.routers.TenantSyncRouter',
)

# With Django 1.6 or older, use multitenant south adapter:
# SOUTH_DATABASE_ADAPTERS = {'default': 'south.db.postgresql_psycopg2'}

Add the multitenant filesystem template loader and configure where the
multitenant templates are located:

TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (
'entrouvert.djommon.multitenant.template_loader.FilesystemLoader',
) + TEMPLATE_LOADERS
TENANT_TEMPLATE_DIRS = (TENANT_BASE,)

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
'django.core.context_processors.request',
) + TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS


Usage
-----

Create a tenant:
manage.py create_tenant www.example.net
Migration of all tenants:
manage.py migrate_schemas
Add a super user to tenant:
manage.py tenant_command createsuperuser --domain www.example.net

Tenants are created in TENANT_BASE directory, for example :
/var/lib/project/tenants/www.example.net/
templates/ <-- override project templates
static/ <-- to be handled by HTTP server
media/
Each tenant is a PostgreSQL schema, named www_example_net
