------------------------------------------
Hi Nishani,
wow sounds good! CouchDB is a database with HTTP API. I really love the
project, it is really inclusive and full of nice people!
We are using Fauxton [1] as our dashboard interface, you would build the
dashboard there. You will probably have to use "git bash" to make it run on
Windows, if you are a windows user.
For running CouchDB 2.x with the Fauxton dev environment you will addtionally
need to install haproxy.
boot the load balancer:
{code}
$ cd couchdb
$ haproxy -f rel/haproxy.cfg
{code}
installing and running fauxton:
{code}
$ git clone https://github.com/apache/couchdb-fauxton
$ cd couchdb-fauxton
$ npm install
$ npm install -g grunt grunt-cli
$ grunt dev
{code}
You will need Couch 2, Fauxton and haproxy running. You should then have our
webinterface running on port 8000 :)
As first step, try out to create a DB and a document using Fauxton :)
I am happy to help, the 2.0 preview installation is not that easy. I hang out
in freenode in #couchdb-dev
What's next:
If everything works we will take a look at Fauxtons code structure and how it
works. We will also talk about the features of the dashboard. Let's find a date
for a chat after you took a first look how Fauxton looks like.
We are having our weekly meeting this Wednesday, 20:00GMT
(http://arewemeetingyet.com/UTC/2015-03-14/20:00) in IRC on freenode (see
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/couchdb-dev/201503.mbox/%3CCAJ1bcfEKOh4nvoxUqvcAcUFgg96w-JqHEefpi%2BWzazKFUPXNCg%40mail.gmail.com%3E)
. Feel free to join us! I will be around 1hr before if you want to chat with
me before but depending

> Key: COUCHDB-2214
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2214
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Components: Fauxton
> Reporter: Alexander Shorin
> Labels: CouchDB, gsoc2015, javascript
>
> Currently, the main page of Fauxton is list of all databases on server. While
> this representation is traditional and legacy from Futon, it would be awesome
> to see there some dashboard of summary information.
> For instance, you're logged as admin. What Fauxton may show you on there?
> - Recently visited databases (COUCHDB-2112)
> - Active replications (+ active_tasks)
> - Some valuable stats like 500 / 401 HTTP errors
> - Recent log messages
> - Quick links for users / replicator databases, create new user/admin
> - Some field for alert message like: Fix the admin party. Warning! You have
> the admin party and your CouchDB is accessible not only from localhost. And
> some other recommendations (like raise max_open_databases in case if you have
> a lot of dbs and stats tells that you're getting closer to this limit), tip
> of the day etc.
> As for regular user there could be showed:
> - Recently visited databases
> - Link to his profile (doc in _users db)
> (whatelse may be useful for regular users?)
> In other words, it would be awesome to have nicer welcome page with useful
> information as summary from other sources.
