-@title = "couchdb"
-@summary = "Data storage for all user data."
-
-Topology
-------------------------
-
-Required:
-
-* Nodes with `couchdb` service must also have `soledad` service, if email is enabled.
-
-Suggested:
-
-* Nodes with `couchdb` service communicate heavily with `webapp` and `mx`.
-
-`couchdb` nodes do not need to be reachable from the public internet, although the `soledad` service does require this.
-
-Configuration
-----------------------------
-
-### Nighly dumps
-
-You can do a nightly couchdb data dump by adding this to your node config:
-
- "couch": {
- "backup": true
- }
-
-Data will get dumped to `/var/backups/couchdb`.
-
-### Plain CouchDB
-
-BigCouch is not supported on Platform version 0.8 and higher: only plain CouchDB is possible. For earlier versions, you must do this in order to use plain CouchDB:
-
- "couch": {
- "master": true,
- "pwhash_alg": "pbkdf2"
- }
-
-Various Tasks
--------------------------------------------------
-
-### Re-enabling blocked account
-
-When a user account gets destroyed from the webapp, there's still a leftover doc in the identities db so other people can't claim that account without an admin's intervention. You can remove this username reservation through the webapp.
-
-However, here is how you could do it manually, if you wanted to:
-
-grep the identities db for the email address:
-
- curl -s --netrc-file /etc/couchdb/couchdb.netrc -X GET http://127.0.0.1:5984/identities/_all_docs?include_docs=true|grep test_127@bitmask.net
-
-lookup "id" and "rev" to delete the doc:
-
- curl -s --netrc-file /etc/couchdb/couchdb.netrc -X DELETE 'http://127.0.0.1:5984/identities/b25cf10f935b58088f0d547fca823265?rev=2-715a9beba597a2ab01851676f12c3e4a'
-
-### How to find out which userstore belongs to which identity?
-
- /usr/bin/curl -s --netrc-file /etc/couchdb/couchdb.netrc '127.0.0.1:5984/identities/_all_docs?include_docs=true' | grep testuser
-
- {"id":"665e004870ee17aa4c94331ff3ecb173","key":"665e004870ee17aa4c94331ff3ecb173","value":{"rev":"2-2e335a75c4b79a5c2ef5c9950706fe1b"},"doc":{"_id":"665e004870ee17aa4c94331ff3ecb173","_rev":"2-2e335a75c4b79a5c2ef5c9950706fe1b","user_id":"665e004870ee17aa4c94331ff3cd59eb","address":"testuser@example.org","destination":"testuser@example.org","keys": ...
-
-* search for the "user_id" field
-* in this example testuser@example.org uses the database user-665e004870ee17aa4c94331ff3cd59eb
-
-
-### How much disk space is used by a userstore
-
-Beware that this returns the uncompacted disk size (see http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Compaction)
-
- echo "`curl --netrc -s -X GET 'http://127.0.0.1:5984/user-dcd6492d74b90967b6b874100b7dbfcf'|json_pp|grep disk_size|cut -d: -f 2`/1024"|bc

-Deprecated BigCouch Tasks
------------------------------------------
-
-As of release 0.8, the LEAP platform no longer supports BigCouch. This information is kept here for historical reference.
-
-### Rebalance Cluster
-
-Bigcouch currently does not have automatic rebalancing.
-It will probably be added after merging into couchdb.
-If you add a node, or remove one node from the cluster,
-
-1. make sure you have a backup of all DBs !
-
-1. put the webapp into [[maintenance mode => services/webapp#maintenance-mode]]
-
-1. Stop all services that access the database:
-
- ```
- workstation$ leap ssh soledad-nodes
- server# /etc/init.d/soledad-server stop
-
- workstation$ leap ssh mx-node
- server# /etc/init.d/postfix stop
- server# /etc/init.d/leap-mx stop
-
- workstation$ leap ssh webapp
- server# /etc/init.d/nickserver stop
- ```
-
- Alternately, you can create a temporary firewall rule to block access (run on couchdb server):
-
- ```
- server# iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 5984 --jump REJECT
- ```
-
-1. dump the dbs:
-
- ```
- cd /srv/leap/couchdb/scripts
- time ./couchdb_dumpall.sh
- ```
-
-1. delete all dbs
-
-1. shut down old node
-
-1. check the couchdb members
-
- ```
- curl -s —netrc-file /etc/couchdb/couchdb.netrc -X GET http://127.0.0.1:5986/nodes/_all_docs
- curl -s —netrc-file /etc/couchdb/couchdb.netrc http://127.0.0.1:5984/_membership
- ```
-
-1. remove bigcouch from all nodes
-
- ```
- apt-get --purge remove bigcouch
- ```
-
-1. deploy to all couch nodes
-
- ```
- leap deploy couchdb
- ```
-
-1. most likely, deploy will fail because bigcouch will complain about not all nodes beeing connected. Let the deploy finish, restart the bigcouch service on all nodes and re-deploy:
-
- ```
- /etc/init.d/bigcouch restart
- ```
-
-1. restore the backup
-
- ```
- cd /srv/leap/couchdb/scripts
- time ./couchdb_restoreall.sh
- ```
