Soledad Server ============== Soledad Server is a document store and a blobs server that can synchronize data with a Soledad Client. .. _server-config-file: Configuring ----------- Soledad Server looks for a configuration file in ``/etc/soledad/soledad-server.conf`` and will read the following configuration options from the ``[soledad-server]`` section: ==================== =============================================== ================================ Option Description Default value ==================== =============================================== ================================ couch_url The URL of the CouchDB backend storage. ``http://localhost:5984`` create_cmd The shell command to create user databases. None admin_netrc The netrc file to be used for authenticating ``/etc/couchdb/couchdb.netrc`` with the CouchDB backend storage. batching Whether to use batching capabilities for ``true`` synchronization. blobs Whether to provide the Blobs functionality or ``false`` not. blobs_path The path for blobs storage in the server's file ``/var/lib/soledad/blobs`` system. services_tokens_file The file containing authentication tokens for ``/etc/soledad/services.tokens`` services provided through the Services API. ==================== =============================================== ================================ Running ------- This is written as a Twisted application and intended to be run using the twistd command. To start the soledad server, run: .. code-block:: bash twistd -n --python /path/to/leap/soledad/server/server.tac An systemd script is included in the `Debian packages `_ to make it feasible to start and stop the Soledad server service using a standard interface. Migrations ---------- Some updates of Soledad need manual intervention for database migration because of changes to the storage backend. In all such cases, we will document the steps needed for migration in this page. Soledad Server 0.8 to 0.9 - Couch Database schema migration needed ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Starting with Soledad Server 0.9.0, the CouchDB database schema was changed to improve speed of the server side storage backend. Because of that, this script has to be run for all Leap providers that used to provide email using Soledad Server < 0.9.0. The migration script can be found: * In `the Soledad repository `_. * In ``/usr/share/soledad-server/migration/0.9/`` when the ``soledad-server`` debian package is installed. Instructions for migration can be found in the ``README.md`` file. Make sure to read it carefully and backup your data before starting the migration process.
