Configuration of NGINX + uWSGI + Django in a multi-tenancy application

Question

I have a single application in Django hosted on AWS. But these days, I turned it into multi-tenancy, using Django-tenant-schemas. Locally, it runs normally. I can create my tenants and access them on my local Django server. However, I don’t know how to run on AWS.

My file . conf for NGINX looks like this:

upstream django {
    server unix:///home/ubuntu/pasta_meu_projeto/mysite.sock; # for a file s$
}

# configuration of the server
server {
    listen      80; address or $
    server_name ssh *.example.com.br;
    charset     utf-8;

    # max upload size
    client_max_body_size 75M;   # adjust to taste

    location /media  {
        alias /home/ubuntu/pasta_meu_projeto/media;  # your Django project's$
    }

    location /static {
        alias /home/ubuntu/pasta_meu_projeto/static; # your Django project's$
    }

    # Finally, send all non-media requests to the Django server.
    location / {
        uwsgi_pass  django;
        include     /home/ubuntu/pasta_meu_projeto/uwsgi_params; # the uwsgi$
    }
}

I pulled for my project that runs on AWS, everything worked. And my only change to access the subdomains (only what I changed) was in the file above, pasting the * before the point: *.example.com.br. I tried to use regex too, but it didn’t work out too well either (server_name ~^(?<subdomain>.+)\.example\.com\.br$;). Can anyone tell me what I should do? What are the settings of Nginx? If besides tinkering with .conf, I must do some other setting, in some other "place"?

Answer 1

The answer to my question was simple and straightforward when posted on Stackoverflow in English. To many it seems my question was shallow. However, I would like to summarize once again what my doubt was. I would like to know what you should set up in my . conf of Nginx to be able to access my tenants, subdomains. The answer came directly, without question:

• Barter server_name ssh *.example.com.br;

FOR

• server_name ssh.example.com.br *.example.com.br;

• Finally, Add for each subdomain:

server {
  server_name subdmino1.example.com.br;
  # ...
}

server {
  server_name subdominio2.example.com.br;
  # ...
}


server {
  server_name subdominio3.example.com.br;
  # ...
}

With the help of @Jean-Jacques MOIROUX, reply, and this tutorial, solved my problem in just over 5 min. Below follow the settings for my file:

upstream django {
    server unix:///home/ubuntu//mysite.sock; # for a file s$
}

# configuration of the server
server {
    listen      80;
    # Linha acrescentada do tutorial
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name ssh.example.com.br *.example.com.br;
    charset     utf-8;

    # max upload size
    client_max_body_size 75M;   # adjust to taste

    location /media  {
        alias /home/ubuntu/pasta_meu_projeto/media;  # your Django project's$
    }

    location /static {
        alias /home/ubuntu/pasta_meu_projeto/static; # your Django project's$
    }

    # Finally, send all non-media requests to the Django server.
    location / {
        uwsgi_pass  django;
        include     /home/ubuntu/pasta_meu_projeto/uwsgi_params; # the uwsgi$
    }
}

server {
    listen      80;
    # Linha acrescentada do tutorial
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name subdominio1.example.com.brr;
    charset     utf-8;

    # max upload size
    client_max_body_size 75M;   # adjust to taste

    location /media  {
        alias /home/ubuntu/pasta_meu_projeto/media;  # your Django project's$
    }

    location /static {
        alias /home/ubuntu/pasta_meu_projeto/static; # your Django project's$
    }

    # Finally, send all non-media requests to the Django server.
    location / {
        uwsgi_pass  django;
        include     /home/ubuntu/pasta_meu_projeto/uwsgi_params; # the uwsgi$
    }
}

server {
    listen      80;
    # Linha acrescentada do tutorial
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name subdominio2.example.com.br;
    # mesmas configurações acima
}
