Map a domain to subdomain from rails application

Question

I have a rails application where clients can create their own environment.

For example a client gets his own environment at a subdomain: client.domain.com

But I want them to be able to map their own domain to the subdomain from my domain

How do I do this?

Thank you!

Answer 1

You need to create an association table between an arbitrary hostname and the customer so that you can convert between one and the other. This could either be a stand-alone table, or a field on the customer record.

It's pretty straight-forward to load this instead of using the subdomain method. Just be sure to pre-populate the field with the existing names you're using.
