The subdomain elevator we were using, which is included in apartment, didn't work on hosts already including a subdomain (like demo.consul.dev, for instance). In those cases, we would manually add the subdomain to the list of excluded subdomains. Since these subdomains will be different for different CONSUL installations, it meant each installation had to customize the code. Furthermore, existing installations using subdomains would stop working. So we're using a custom method to find the current tenant, based on the host defined in `default_url_options`. In order to avoid any side-effects on single-tenant applications, we're adding a new configuration option to enable multitenancy We're enabling two ways to handle this configuration option: a) Change the application_custom.rb file, which is under version control b) Change the secrets.yml file, which is not under version control This way people prefering to handle configuration options through version control can do so, while people who prefer handling configuration options through te secrets.yml file can do so as well. We're also disabling the super-annoying warnings mentioning there are no tenants which we got every time we run migrations on single-tenant applications. These messages will only be enabled when the multitenancy feature is enabled too. For this reason, we're also disabling the multitenancy feature in the development environment by default.

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
Current state
Development started on 2015 July 15th. Code was deployed to production on 2015 september 7th to decide.madrid.es. Since then new features are added often. You can take a look at the current features at the project's website and future features at the Roadmap and open issues list.
