How do I mount multiple rails engines?

Question

What should I do if I want to be able to host multiple instances of the same rails engine (bot)? This will be separate engines (using the same code) but using different model attributes, data, etc..

The only way that makes sense to me is to mount separate engine (bots) doing something like this..

mount SomeENGINE, at: 'bot/:unique_id'

Is this the way to do it? Basically having a separate web-hook per engine as a way to identify each of them?

Yeah your idea will basically work. Here's an example for mounting the enginge 10 times at 10 different routes:

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  (1..10).each do |idx|
    mount MyEngine::Engine => "/bot_#{idx}"
  end
end
