Abstract: We study the geometry of domains in complete metric measure spaces equipped with a doubling measure supporting a $1$-Poincar'e inequality. We propose a notion of emph{domain with boundary of positive mean curvature} and prove that, for such domains, there is always a solution to the Dirichlet problem for least gradients with continuous boundary data. Here emph{least gradient} is defined as minimizing total variation (in the sense of BV functions) and boundary conditions are satisfied in the sense that the emph{boundary trace} of the solution exists and agrees with the given boundary data. This extends the result of Sternberg, Williams and Ziemer to the non-smooth setting. Via counterexamples we also show that uniqueness of solutions and existence of emph{continuous} solutions can fail, even in the weighted Euclidean setting with Lipschitz weights.
