Multiple gateway installations for customers
Yes, one gateway for one customer. And gateway can only be installed on Windows now.

Ok, thanks for your info
Just in case somebody is interested...
Windows Containers silent installation can be done by:
docker run --rm <your_container_name> powershell c:\<installation_directory>\GatewayInstall.exe /Q
you can find Gatewayinstaller.exe in %TEMP% if you run downloadable PowerBIGatewayInstall.exe first on some other machine
This installs on-premises data gateway
c:\ wmic service where started=true get name, startname
PBIEgwService NT SERVICE\PBIEgwService
C:\>net start
On-premises data gateway service
There is no way (that I know of) how to run On-Premises Data Gateway Configurator silently after this with all the input it needs (email,Microsoft credentials,gateway name, recovery key etc.). The configurator is a Microsoft Installer:
C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{0E277C24-0728-4FE0-B2F1-5C7DC7E30DD0}v1.15.6170.1\EgwComponents.msi
at this point I ended my study on multiplying gateways with containers. WMWare virtual server is the only solution which we can use for this.
Hi Marmi,
I have the same issue and was wondering whether you have a solution already. I use one server for several customers; all with their own SQL server database and their own Power BI accounts and reports. These need to split and may never mixed.
As an alternative I would use one server per customer which would create multiple server that would hardly be used most of the time but only needs a lot a performance during ETL time. This is not a cost efficient solution.
Is VMWare still the only way to go? and how I have to set it up?
Do i need to know more about hte Windows Containers (e.g. is it usefull in this respect of the problem at hand)?
Hope you can help me.
