Eox-tenant is a plugin for Open edX, and part of the Edunext Open edX Extensions (aka EOX), that replaces the microsites and site_configurations features, offering a more robust multi-tenancy model.
If you are looking for professional development or support with multitenancy or multi-sites in the Open edX platform, you can reach out to [email protected]
Add this plugin in your Tutor
config.yml
with theOPENEDX_EXTRA_PIP_REQUIREMENTS
setting.OPENEDX_EXTRA_PIP_REQUIREMENTS: - eox-tenant=={{version}}
Save the configuration with
tutor config save
.Build the image and launch your platform with
tutor local launch
.
Once your instance is running, you can access the Django admin site and locate the EDUNEXT OPENEDX MULTITENANCY
models.
- Microsites: Store the microsite configuration.
- Routes: Configure the URL for a tenant.
- Tenant configs: Store the configuration for each tenant.
- Tenant organizations: Link each organization with one or multiple tenants.
Add EDNX_USE_SIGNAL = True
in each microsite/tenant that wants to use the plugin.

The plugin is configured for the latest release (Redwood). The following changes in the plugin settings should be applied to be used for previous releases.
Maple
For version 11.X compatible
EOX_TENANT_EDX_AUTH_BACKEND = "eox_tenant.edxapp_wrapper.backends.edx_auth_i_v1"
Those settings can be changed in eox_tenant/settings/common.py
or, for example, in the instance settings.
๐จ If the release you are looking for is not listed, please note:
- If the Open edX release is compatible with the current eox-tenant version (see Compatibility Notes), the default configuration is sufficient.
- If incompatible, you can refer to the README from the relevant version tag for configuration details (e.g., v6.2.0 README).
๐จ For version < 10.0.0 you need to enable eox-tenant adding in the LMS configuration:
USE_EOX_TENANT = True
This command will synchronize the course_org_filter values in lms_configs(TenantConfig model) or values(Microsite model) with the TenantOrganization registers if the organization does not exist, it will be created, otherwise, it will be added to the organizations model field.
./manage.py lms synchronize_organizations # only for TenantConfig and Microsite
./manage.py lms synchronize_organizations --model TenantConfig # only for TenantConfig
./manage.py lms synchronize_organizations --model Microsite # only for Microsite
create_or_update_tenant_config helps to add or edit TenantConfig
and linked Routes
via command line.
# This command will create/edit an entry in TenantConfig with external_key lacolhost.com and update its JSONField(s) with passed JSON content.
./manage.py lms create_or_update_tenant_config --external-key lacolhost.com --config '{"lms_configs": {"PLATFORM_NAME": "Lacolhost"}, "studio_configs": {"PLATFORM_NAME": "Lacolhost"}}' lacolhost.com studio.lacolhost.com preview.lacolhost.com
# This command will create/edit an entry in TenantConfig with external_key lacolhost.com and update its JSONField(s) with passed JSON config file content.
./manage.py lms create_or_update_tenant_config --external-key lacolhost.com --config-file /tmp/some.json lacolhost.com studio.lacolhost.com preview.lacolhost.com
# Same as above, but it will override configuration instead of updating it.
./manage.py lms create_or_update_tenant_config --external-key lacolhost.com --config-file /tmp/some.json lacolhost.com studio.lacolhost.com preview.lacolhost.com --override
Migrating from 0.* version to 1.0.0
From version 1.0.0, RedirectionsMiddleware and PathRedirectionMiddleware are no longer supported in this plugin. These middleware were moved to the eox-core plugin here. From this, you can have three cases:
You have already installed eox-core alongside eox-tenant. In this case, you need to:
- Upgrade eox-core to version 2.0.0 (previous releases are not compatible with eox-tenant 1.0.0)
- Run the plugin migrations as indicated below:
./manage.py lms migrate eox_tenant --settings=<your app settings> ./manage.py lms migrate eox_core --fake-initial --settings=<your app settings>
You only have installed eox-tenant and you want to keep the functionality that middleware offer. You need to:
- Install eox-core version 2.0.0 as edx-platform requirement. You can use Ansible to add this plugin as an extra requirement.
- Run the plugin migrations as indicated below:
./manage.py lms migrate eox_tenant --settings=<your app settings> ./manage.py manage.py lms migrate eox_core --fake-initial --settings=<your app settings>
In the case you are not using the redirection middleware, and only have eox-tenant installed, you can simply apply the database migrations for the eox-tenant plugin:
./manage.py manage.py lms migrate eox_tenant --settings=<your app settings>
The table corresponding to the Redirection model will not be deleted but it will be discarded from the Django state
- SSO that uses the LMS while authenticating does so with server-to-server communication. Therefore, when the AvailableScreenMiddleware gets the current domain, it finds that lms:8000 as in SOCIAL_AUTH_EDX_OAUTH2_URL_ROOT which does not exist, then raises a 404 exception. To avoid this error, set in your LMS settings file:
SOCIAL_AUTH_EDX_OAUTH2_URL_ROOT = SOCIAL_AUTH_EDX_OAUTH2_PUBLIC_URL_ROOT
