wohali commented on issue #1705: GET / does not return uuid of server for CouchDB 2.2.0 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1705#issuecomment-434388549 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 /`.
