Multi-Tenant install

[marcotownson]

Hi please could someone detail how to install using django multi-tenant.
I've gone round in circles and can't seem to have isolated data between clients?
I followed the guide on the horilla site, but that made things more confusing 😅

Couldn't you just run separate venv profiles? or separate virtual servers?

Tell us more about your set up so we can try and help...

Running separate venv profiles wouldn’t really solve the issue, since that just isolates dependencies, not the actual data. You’d still need a way to keep client data separate within the app itself.

Setting up separate virtual servers could work, but that’s overkill—way too resource-intensive and not cost-effective, especially when scaling.

With Horilla, the goal is proper multi-tenancy where:

• Each client has isolated data.
  

• Some clients have subsidiary companies, so I need per-tenant and per-subsidiary settings.
  

• The app should be shared, but data should never overlap between tenants but as it runs now allow the superuser control of each respective company.
  

Ideally, I need something that can handle tenant-specific settings and isn’t a nightmare to maintain. Anyone tackled something similar?
