Self managed > Team sites instructions?

[m_wallin]

The documentation suggests that self-managed versions can still create Team sites. However, the docs go on to say (paraphrasing), “but team sites don’t usually make sense for self-managed instances.” Still, I’d like to create Team sites.

When I go to profile icon in a self-managed instance and select + Create a new team site, Grist redirects me to the getgrist.com pricing page.

So it seems that there is just some setting which I’ve failed to trigger. Any advice is helpful. Thanks

There is discussion of this towards the end of this thread Grist core multi user docker setup - #32 by BiBo

Grist core multi user docker setup

@wht3v3r there isn’t yet a convenient way to create teams in the UI. But if you are experimenting locally, you can see multiple team site operation as follows. Start, then stop Grist configured to use a single team (called say team1): docker run -v /tmp/persist:/persist -p 8484:8484 -e GRIST_SINGLE_ORG=team1 -it gristlabs/grist Start, then stop Grist configured to use a different team (called say team2): docker run -v /tmp/persist:/persist -p 8484:8484 -e GRIST_SINGLE_ORG=team2 -it gristlabs…

This user’s post contains a description of problems they had with the workarounds, and an edit with a solution that worked for them:

Grist core multi user docker setup

This doesn’t work using docker-compose and changing just GRIST_SINGLE_ORG variable. Maybe because I have also other variables set? Do you have an example? I don’t find the API documentation for posting to /api/orgs here: These are the relevant variables I have set: APP_DOC_URL=https://docs.grist.example.com APP_HOME_URL=https://docs.grist.example.com GRIST_SAML_SP_HOST=https://docs.grist.example.com GRIST_DOMAIN=grist.example.com GRIST_ORG_IN_PATH=false #GRIST_SINGLE_ORG=team2 I have e…

You can hide the (currently) useless link for creating team sites using style options:

Thanks @paul-grist for the workarounds.
