Laravel Filament Multi-Tenant Starter - Build your app fast

Building a SaaS with Laravel Filament? You need more than two panels. You need teams, invitations, tenant-aware permissions, and a member experience that works for multiple users within the same organization.

Laravel Filament Multi-Tenant Starter does it for you. Backend panel, tenant member panel, team-based multi-tenancy, invitation system, team roles. All wired up and ready to go with Laravel 13 and Filament PHP v5.

What you get

Two panels, two worlds

• Backend panel for your admins, accessible via subdomain or path
• Member panel for your users, tenant-aware, with team switching built in

Each panel has its own middleware, routing config, and permission scope.

Team-based multi-tenancy

Multi-tenancy is powered by a Team model. Each user can belong to multiple teams and switch between them directly from the member panel.

• Users can belong to multiple teams simultaneously
• Team switching built into the member panel
• Each team has its own profile page (name), editable by Team Admins
• Tenant-aware resources and access control throughout the member panel

Two-tier role system

Application roles secure the Filament panels:

• Backend - access to the backend admin panel
• Member - access to the member panel

Team roles govern what users can do inside their team:

• Team_Admin - manages team members, sends invitations, edits team profile

All roles are pre-seeded and defined via enums, clean, extensible, no magic strings.

Complete invitation flow

For existing users:

1. Team Admin sends an invitation
2. User accepts
3. User is immediately attached to the team

For new users:

1. Team Admin sends an invitation
2. User receives an invitation email
3. User registers
4. User is automatically attached to the team and can access the panel immediately

Secure authentication

• Email invitation system for backend and member users
• First-login password setup enforced
• Password renewal flow via Filament Renew Password
• MFA with authenticator app support

Production infrastructure, included

• Laravel Horizon - queue monitoring, backend-only access
• Logs Viewer - backend-only access
• Redis for queues and cache
• Multi-stage Docker setup - PHP-FPM, Nginx, PostgreSQL, Redis, Horizon, scheduler, all wired with healthchecks

Developer experience

• app/Filament/Shared - shared schemas between panels
• app/Models/TeamUser - team membership with role scoping
• app/Services/TeamUserService - team user logic cleanly extracted
• Per-user timezone applied automatically everywhere
• Strong password policy enforced globally
• Light & Dark theme switch + empty custom theme scaffold
• Database notifications (Filament native)
• Fully localized - English by default
• Laravel Debugbar, PHPStan, Laravel Pint, PestPHP included

Billing

This starter does not include a billing module. The Team model is designed to be extended. Add your Stripe customer ID, subscription status, or any billing-related fields directly to the Team model and TeamUser as needed.

How to install

Without Docker

composer install
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate
npm install
npm run build

Configure your .env, database, Redis, mail, and your panel access:

# Backend panel at backend.yourdomain.com
FILAMENT_PANELS_BACKEND_DOMAIN=backend.yourdomain.com
FILAMENT_PANELS_BACKEND_PATH=

# Or at yourdomain.com/backend
FILAMENT_PANELS_BACKEND_DOMAIN=
FILAMENT_PANELS_BACKEND_PATH=backend

# Member panel at member.yourdomain.com
FILAMENT_PANELS_MEMBER_DOMAIN=member.yourdomain.com
FILAMENT_PANELS_MEMBER_PATH=

# Or at yourdomain.com/member
FILAMENT_PANELS_MEMBER_DOMAIN=
FILAMENT_PANELS_MEMBER_PATH=member

Then run the setup command - migrations, roles & permissions, first backend user:

php artisan backend:setup

All panels are live.

With Docker (recommended)

A docker-compose.example.yaml is included with everything pre-configured: PHP-FPM, Nginx, PostgreSQL, Redis, Horizon, and the scheduler. A dedicated bootstrap service runs migrations automatically before the app starts.

For a deep dive into the Docker architecture:

👉 Production-Ready Docker Setup for Laravel Filament

👉 Production-Ready Docker Compose for Laravel Filament

cp docker-compose.example.yaml docker-compose.yaml
cp .env.docker.example .env
docker compose up -d --build
docker compose exec php-fpm php artisan backend:setup

Access your panels:

• Backend: https://localhost:4443/backend
• Member: https://localhost:4443/member

⚠️ Always use https:// - Nginx expects SSL on port 4443. ⚠️ Self-signed certificate warning in local dev is expected. Certificates are provided in docker/example/nginx/certs/.

For production, adapt the compose file and Nginx config to your own infrastructure. See the GitLab CI guide for a complete production pipeline.
