Note we aren't allowing to delete a tenant because it would delete all its data, so this action is a very dangerous one. We might need to add a warning when creating a tenant, indicating the tenant cannot be destroyed. We can also add an action to delete a tenant which forces the admin to write the name of the tenant before deleting it and with a big warning about the danger of this operation. For now, we're letting administrators of the "main" (default) tenant to create other tenants. However, we're only allowing to manage tenants when the multitenancy configuration option is enabled. This way the interface won't get in the way on single-tenant applications. We've thought about creating a new role to manage tenants or a new URL out of the admin area. We aren't doing so for simplicity purposes and because we want to keep CONSUL working the same way it has for single-tenant installations, but we might change it in the future. There's also the fact that by default we create one user with a known password, and if by default we create a new role and a new user to handle tenants, the chances of people forgetting to change the password of one of these users increases dramatically, particularly if they aren't using multitenancy.

Configuration for development and test environments
NOTE: For more detailed instructions check the docs
Prerequisites: install git, Ruby 2.7.6, CMake, pkg-config, shared-mime-info, Node.js and PostgreSQL (>=9.5).
git clone https://github.com/consul/consul.git
cd consul
bundle install
cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
cp config/secrets.yml.example config/secrets.yml
bin/rake db:create
bin/rake db:migrate
bin/rake db:dev_seed
RAILS_ENV=test rake db:setup
Run the app locally:
bin/rails s
Run the tests with:
bin/rspec
You can use the default admin user from the seeds file:
user: admin@consul.dev pass: 12345678
But for some actions like voting, you will need a verified user, the seeds file also includes one:
user: verified@consul.dev pass: 12345678
Configuration for production environments
See installer
