@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 ### Migrating from BigCouch to plain CouchDB <%= render :partial => 'docs/platform/common/bigcouch_migration_begin.md' %> <%= render :partial => 'docs/platform/common/bigcouch_migration_end.md' %> <%= render :partial => 'docs/platform/common/bigcouch_migration_finish.md' %>
