A better example with online demo: https://github.com/laravel-101/multi-domain-laravel-app

An example of multi-domain/subdomain app in Laravel. A project allows your users to create their shops (or websites) under your subdomain, like acme.example.com

• User login and registration
• Application control panel
• Sub-domains routes
• Custom helper functions to work with subdomains
• Database migrations
• etc.

Please note: This is a demo project, and a lot of features aren't included, such as billing, user management, etc. The main purpose of this project is to show how to work with wildcard domains/subdomains in Laravel Framework.

It is supposed that the project is hosted using Laravel Forge and deployed using Envoyer.io

Commands to be added after installing composer dependencies:

cd {{release}}

composer update

npm install
npm run production

php artisan view:clear
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan vendor:publish
php artisan migrate --force

php artisan db:seed --force

php artisan config:cache

Let's assume the app will be running on the app.example.com domain, so your users will be able to create their shops on your sub-domains, like acme.example.com. In this case, your .env file may looks as follow:

APP_URL=http://app.example.com
APP_DOMAIN=app.example.com

SESSION_DOMAIN='.example.com'

ADMIN_FIRST_NAME=John
ADMIN_LAST_NAME=Doe
[email protected]
ADMIN_PASSWORD=my_secure_password

It is recommended to use tunneling service like ngrok.com, when developing on your local machine. In this case your .env file may looks as follow:

APP_URL=http://app.yourapp.ngrok.io
APP_DOMAIN=yourapp.ngrok.io

SESSION_DOMAIN='.yourapp.ngrok.io'

ADMIN_FIRST_NAME=John
ADMIN_LAST_NAME=Doe
[email protected]
ADMIN_PASSWORD=secure_pa55word

npm run watch
npm run dev
npm run production
