wohali commented on issue #1705: GET / does not return uuid of server for 
CouchDB 2.2.0 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

   Hi @thaddeusalbers, thanks for the report.
   
   Your server's proper `uuid` does not belong in default.ini; it is correct 
that default.ini have the line `uuid =`
   
   On first run of CouchDB, if no UUID is present in the ini file chain, a new 
UUID will be placed into `local.ini`, _e.g._ `uuid = 
e8fed9265f8a5684d28ade534215d2a2`.
   
   So the question this ticket is raising is whether or not the UUID should be 
in the `GET /` response or not. I went back and built 2.0.0 from sources, and 
it doesn't include the uuid in the response either: 
`{"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"2.0.0","vendor":{"name":"The Apache Software 
Foundation"}}`. So this is very likely a documentation regression bug when we 
did the 1.x -> 2.x upgrade path.
   
   I'll ask the rest of the team if there are any plans to return the UUID to 
`GET /`.
