Hi, I'm not the expert on that, but since no-one else is replying I'll throw my ideas anyway.
One solution that does get rid of the docker containers but doesn't otherwise achieve very much is to continue routing from nginx. For one client nginx can be connecting to the :8001 backend, for another client with :8002, and so on. Now all backends can be running on the same machine and use the same virtualenv and project directory, just different settings. For example, you might have /etc/mydjangoproject/client1/settings.py, /etc/mydjangoproject/client2/settings.py, and likewise have many uwsgi/gunicorn instances, each one of them setting PYTHONPATH to a different one of these directories so that Django reads the settings from there. The problem with this setup is that it seems like an unnecessary use of resources. You will still be running X Django instances when, in theory, one should be enough. The benefits are that it will be somewhat simpler (since you want be using Docker), and, if you were running many MySQL instances (one in each docker), you also save some resources because you will be running only one MySQL server (with many databases). Otherwise, to run a single Django instance, you could define many DATABASES and create a database router that selects the appropriate database each time. I believe that this is doable with minimal or no changes to the application code (only in settings and in a file that defines the database router and is imported by settings). But you may also need to take care of media files. In FileField, ImageFields, you need to specify a callable in upload_to.
