[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Configuring multiple tenants in ArchivesSpace?

[Ben Goldman]

Hi Chris, 

I conflated multi-tenancy and multi-repository in my response to Mark, I realize now. As far as I understand it, setting up multiple repositories allows an institution to share certain data (users, authorities, etc. -- https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/archivesspace/r5WBdw-9S7o ), while multi-tenancy is defined as " isolated installations of the system in a common deployment environment." 

Penn State intends the former. (I should avoid email just before vacation.) 

Best, 
Ben

As a very basic question, I am wondering if someone can explain what the effect would be of doing a multi tenant setup as opposed to managing several repositories in one DB? 

I am as suing that If you have four tenants, would you have four completely separate instances, each with their own staff and public interface at a designed URL? Is that correct? 

Or would it be possible to have one public interface through which information in all four tenants could be searched and displayed side by side? In addition to separate public interfaces for each tenant? 

I guess what I am asking is what use cases does the specific implementation of the multi tenancy that was put into aspace allow for?

Hey Mark, 

We're not there yet at Penn State, but planning/hoping to go there with our installation in the Spring, in order to serve satellite archives at Penn State commonwealth campuses. I'd be happy to follow up then.

Hi all, 



At Yale, we just started experimenting with setting up a multi-tenant installation of ArchivesSpace ( https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/tree/master/clustering ). Have any other institutions set one of these up already? If so, I’d love to talk with you on- or off-list about how you’ve opted to configure everything. 



Additionally, it would also just be really nice to know who else is opting to go this route.
