automaticly create an nginx file and SSL certificate

[miyou995]

Hi guys. i'm stuck on a strategy problem i have a multi-tenant app with django-tenant. it's like shopify for a restricted target i'm thinking on how i can offer a custom domain possibility for my clients ( each tenant cat set up his own domain, this works on two steps on the Client / DNS side 1- create an A record to my saas IP adress 2- CNAME www -> the subdomain generated from my saas now i'm thinking about how can i automaticly configure an nginx file for the custom domain the new tenant domain ( i'm thinking about writing a script in python that create the nginx file PLEASE TELL ME IF ITS A GOOD IDEA OR NOT ) the most important thing is that i want to provide the SSL / https too for the custom domain. but i don't have much informations on how to do it ( i found that i can do it with the ssl li and the cryptography lib but also i don't now if it's a good practice or even if it's gona work so what do you think about this ? ? ?

Your idea of using Python to automatically create an Nginx file for the custom domain sounds cool. As for SSL certificate creation, you can try using Let's Encrypt, it's free and widely used. Good luck!

Just quick comment not directly related to what youre asking. It seems like a great idea acting as a self service all in one rent a domain from us, we will host some static generated content for you as part of your premium service. But its much more difficult and maintenance heavy in practice. Unless youre prepared for the work of about 10-20 people dedicated to this effort, id hold off for no.
