Tenancy works just fine as a single tenant app, but maybe you need to support 2 or 3 or eleventeen different organizations. No problem. Tenancy comes with some easy-peasy rake tools to do just that.

Spose your new tenant is named ‘acme’, then…

rake tenant:reset TENANT_NAME=acme

This automatically creates the schema ‘acme’, migrates that schema to current state and then seeds that schema with data. Piece O Cake.

Tip: now that you’ve got multi-tenancy, you’ll need to add a subdomain. If you’re rockin’ some flavor of unix this will be as simple as adding entries into your /etc/hosts file. Something like this…

127.0.0.1	acme.grokklab.com
127.0.0.1	bnsf.grokklab.com
etc...

Refresh your DNS cache (for macs -> dscacheutil -flushcache) and then point your browser at acme.grokklab.com and you are now looking at ACME’s web app.

Enjoy.
