+# Development
+
+## Simulating subdomains
+
+A multi-space enabled TeSS will set the current space based on the subdomain of the incoming request.
+
+To allow your local development server to respond to requests with a subdomain, 
+edit your hosts file (`/etc/hosts` on Linux) to include something like the following, e.g.:
+
+```
+127.0.0.1	plants.mytess.training
+127.0.0.1	astro.mytess.training
+127.0.0.1	whatever.mytess.training
+```
+
+This will ensure that if you visit e.g. plants.mytess.training, your browser will route it to your local development server
+(you may need to restart your browser after changing the hosts file).
+
+Edit `config/hosts.rb` to ensure your Rails application accepts requests to the hosts provided above.
+
+## Configuring spaces
+
+Edit `tess.yml` to define spaces, e.g.:
+
+```
+  spaces:
+    plants:
+      name: TeSS Plants Community
+    astro:
+      name: TeSS Space Community
+    whatever:
+      name: The Whatever Space
+```
+
+(Your server will need to be restarted after changing this file)
