Using django-tenant-schemas
===========================
Supported versions
------------------
You can use ``django-tenant-schemas`` with currently maintained versions of Django -- see the `Django's release process <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/internals/release-process/>`_ and the present list of `Supported Versions <https://www.djangoproject.com/download/#supported-versions>`_.
It is necessary to use a PostgreSQL database. ``django-tenant-schemas`` will ensure compatibility with the minimum required version of the latest Django release. At this time that is PostgreSQL 9.2, the minimum for Django 1.10.
Creating a Tenant
-----------------
Creating a tenant works just like any other model in Django. The first thing we should do is to create the ``public`` tenant to make our main website available. We'll use the previous model we defined for ``Client``.
.. code-block:: python
from customers.models import Client
# create your public tenant
tenant = Client(domain_url='my-domain.com', # don't add your port or www here! on a local server you'll want to use localhost here
schema_name='public',
name='Schemas Inc.',
paid_until='2016-12-05',
on_trial=False)
tenant.save()
Now we can create our first real tenant.
.. code-block:: python
from customers.models import Client
# create your first real tenant
tenant = Client(domain_url='tenant.my-domain.com', # don't add your port or www here!
schema_name='tenant1',
name='Fonzy Tenant',
paid_until='2014-12-05',
on_trial=True)
tenant.save() # migrate_schemas automatically called, your tenant is ready to be used!
Because you have the tenant middleware installed, any request made to ``tenant.my-domain.com`` will now automatically set your PostgreSQL's ``search_path`` to ``tenant1, public``, making shared apps available too. The tenant will be made available at ``request.tenant``. By the way, the current schema is also available at ``connection.schema_name``, which is useful, for example, if you want to hook to any of django's signals.
Any call to the methods ``filter``, ``get``, ``save``, ``delete`` or any other function involving a database connection will now be done at the tenant's schema, so you shouldn't need to change anything at your views.
Management commands
-------------------
By default, base commands run on the public tenant but you can also own commands that run on a specific tenant by inheriting ``BaseTenantCommand``.
For example, if you have the following ``do_foo`` command in the ``foo`` app:
``foo/management/commands/do_foo.py``
.. code-block:: python
from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand
class Command(BaseCommand):
def handle(self, *args, **options):
do_foo()
You could create a wrapper command by using ``BaseTenantCommand``:
``foo/management/commands/tenant_do_foo.py``
.. code-block:: python
from tenant_schemas.management.commands import BaseTenantCommand
class Command(BaseTenantCommand):
COMMAND_NAME = 'do_foo'
To run the command on a particular schema, there is an optional argument called ``--schema``.
.. code-block:: bash
./manage.py tenant_command do_foo --schema=customer1
If you omit the ``schema`` argument, the interactive shell will ask you to select one.
migrate_schemas
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``migrate_schemas`` is the most important command on this app. The way it works is that it calls Django's ``migrate`` in two different ways. First, it calls ``migrate`` for the ``public`` schema, only syncing the shared apps. Then it runs ``migrate`` for every tenant in the database, this time only syncing the tenant apps.
.. warning::
You should never directly call ``migrate``. We perform some magic in order to make ``migrate`` only migrate the appropriate apps.
.. code-block:: bash
./manage.py migrate_schemas
The options given to ``migrate_schemas`` are also passed to every ``migrate``. Hence you may find handy
.. code-block:: bash
./manage.py migrate_schemas --list
``migrate_schemas`` raises an exception when an tenant schema is missing.
tenant_command
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To run any command on an individual schema, you can use the special ``tenant_command``, which creates a wrapper around your command so that it only runs on the schema you specify. For example
.. code-block:: bash
./manage.py tenant_command loaddata
If you don't specify a schema, you will be prompted to enter one. Otherwise, you may specify a schema preemptively
.. code-block:: bash
./manage.py tenant_command loaddata --schema=customer1
createsuperuser
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The command ``createsuperuser`` is already automatically wrapped to have a ``schema`` flag. Create a new super user with
.. code-block:: bash
./manage.py createsuperuser --username=admin --schema=customer1
list_tenants
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Prints to standard output a tab separated list of schema:domain_url values for each tenant.
.. code-block:: bash
for t in $(./manage.py list_tenants | cut -f1);
do
./manage.py tenant_command dumpdata --schema=$t --indent=2 auth.user > ${t}_users.json;
done
Storage
-------
The :mod:`~django.core.files.storage` API will not isolate media per tenant. Your ``MEDIA_ROOT`` will be a shared space between all tenants.
To avoid this you should configure a tenant aware storage backend - you will be warned if this is not the case.
.. code-block:: python
# settings.py
MEDIA_ROOT = '/data/media'
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'tenant_schemas.storage.TenantFileSystemStorage'
We provide :class:`tenant_schemas.storage.TenantStorageMixin` which can be added to any third-party storage backend.
In your reverse proxy configuration you will need to capture use a regular expression to identify the ``domain_url`` to serve content from the appropriate directory.
.. code-block:: text
# illustrative /etc/nginx/cond.d/tenant.conf
upstream web {
server localhost:8080 fail_timeout=5s;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name ~^(www\.)?(.+)$;
location / {
proxy_pass http://web;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
}
location /media/ {
alias /data/media/$2/;
}
}
Utils
-----
There are several utils available in `tenant_schemas.utils` that can help you in writing more complicated applications.
.. function:: schema_context(schema_name)
This is a context manager. Database queries performed inside it will be executed in against the passed ``schema_name``.
.. code-block:: python
from tenant_schemas.utils import schema_context
with schema_context(schema_name):
# All comands here are ran under the schema `schema_name`
# Restores the `SEARCH_PATH` to its original value
.. function:: tenant_context(tenant_object)
This context manager is very similiar to the ``schema_context`` function,
but it takes a tenant model object as the argument instead.
.. code-block:: python
from tenant_schemas.utils import tenant_context
with tenant_context(tenant):
# All commands here are ran under the schema from the `tenant` object
# Restores the `SEARCH_PATH` to its original value
.. function:: schema_exists(schema_name)
Returns ``True`` if a schema exists in the current database.
.. code-block:: python
from django.core.exceptions import ValidationError
from django.utils.text import slugify
from tenant_schemas.utils import schema_exists
class TenantModelForm:
# ...
def clean_schema_name(self)
schema_name = self.cleaned_data["schema_name"]
schema_name = slugify(schema_name).replace("-", "")
if schema_exists(schema_name):
raise ValidationError("A schema with this name already exists in the database")
else:
return schema_name
.. function:: get_tenant_model()
Returns the class of the tenant model.
.. function:: get_public_schema_name()
Returns the name of the public schema (from settings or the default ``public``).
.. function:: get_limit_set_calls()
Returns the ``TENANT_LIMIT_SET_CALLS`` setting or the default (``False``). See below.
Logging
-------
The optional ``TenantContextFilter`` can be included in ``settings.LOGGING`` to add the current ``schema_name`` and ``domain_url`` to the logging context.
.. code-block:: python
# settings.py
LOGGING = {
'filters': {
'tenant_context': {
'()': 'tenant_schemas.log.TenantContextFilter'
},
},
'formatters': {
'tenant_context': {
'format': '[%(schema_name)s:%(domain_url)s] '
'%(levelname)-7s %(asctime)s %(message)s',
},
},
'handlers': {
'console': {
'filters': ['tenant_context'],
},
},
}
This will result in logging output that looks similar to:
.. code-block:: text
[example:example.com] DEBUG 13:29 django.db.backends: (0.001) SELECT ...
Performance Considerations
--------------------------
The hook for ensuring the ``search_path`` is set properly happens inside the ``DatabaseWrapper`` method ``_cursor()``, which sets the path on every database operation. However, in a high volume environment, this can take considerable time. A flag, ``TENANT_LIMIT_SET_CALLS``, is available to keep the number of calls to a minimum. The flag may be set in ``settings.py`` as follows:
.. code-block:: python
# settings.py:
TENANT_LIMIT_SET_CALLS = True
When set, ``django-tenant-schemas`` will set the search path only once per request. The default is ``False``.
Third Party Apps
----------------
Celery
~~~~~~
Support for Celery is available at `tenant-schemas-celery <https://github.com/maciej-gol/tenant-schemas-celery>`_.
django-debug-toolbar
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
`django-debug-toolbar <https://github.com/django-debug-toolbar/django-debug-toolbar>`_ routes need to be added to ``urls.py`` (both public and tenant) manually.
.. code-block:: python
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls import include
if settings.DEBUG:
import debug_toolbar
urlpatterns += patterns(
'',
url(r'^__debug__/', include(debug_toolbar.urls)),
)
