Can Anvil do multi-tenant out of the box?

[psmithsf]

I want to build an app – think like the Todo sample app, just with more features – but I would like it to be multi-tenant, with each tenant able to log in on their own domain.

I suspect I might be able to hack something together like this, but ideally, i’d like it out of the box, so i could just write code that will actually make me money.

The nearest comparison I can think of is Spark (from the Laravel folks). It’s basically amazing – at least if its advertised features are actually implemented as they say – but I like PHP even less than Python.

I would like each tenant to be able to log into their instance of my app on their own domain name. Again, I would like that to be…super-easy for me to set up, as out-of-the-box as possible. (I just realized that ‘out of the box’ has two diff meanings. weird.)

Thank you much for any answers/tips/ideas.

You could create an app that does exactly what you want for a single “tenant”. Then you copy the app - one copy for each “tenant” and afterwards press publish and setup the specific domain name within each app.

What @neriksen85 suggests is what I currently do, and the ability to use the domain has been added to the feature requests here :

Fetch the domain name of the app

I want to select a different database for the user to access depending on the URL they use to access the app. One client might use xxx.domain.com, another might use anotherdomain.com and yet another might use subdomain.anotherdomain.com. These are to be custom domains and i will maintain a table of domain -> database mappings, so how to I get the domain they entered in their browser? EDIT - actually, this is nonsense. I have to create a new app for each one anyway to enter the custom domain…
