+# Couchdb Puppet module
+
+This module is based on the one from Camptocamp_.
+
+.. _Camptocamp: http://www.camptocamp.com/
+
+For more information about couchdb see http://couchdb.apache.org/
+
+# Dependencies
+
+- ruby module from the shared-modules group
+
+# Couchdb debian packages
+
+## Jessie
+
+There are no couchdb packages for jessie, so the only way is to
+to configure apt to install couchdb from unstable by adding a
+sources list file to `/etc/apt/sources.list.d`.
+
+## Example usage
+
+This will setup couchdb:
+
+    # needed for wget call, which is unqualified by purpose so we don't force
+    # a location for the wget binary
+    Exec { path    => '/usr/bin:/usr/sbin/:/bin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin' }
+
+    class { 'couchdb':
+      admin_pw => '123'
+    }

+#   If you only want the file content use --data '{}'
