Hi Darryl,
My suggestion: I run `ember deploy production` using
https://www.npmjs.com/package/ember-cli-deploy-couchdb and
https://github.com/nolanlawson/ember-pouch to deploy my Ember App on
CouchDB. So on http://bloggr.exmer.com/ the ember app runs in the same
cloudant database as the data.
This works for both SPA (highly recommended) and MPA (vintage apps)
What our team implemented until now is:
1) plain appcache - the application files, that can be used offline, are cached
on the browser. When you need to update application files just modify appcache
manifest file. There is a
using this second approach you can also use PouchDB for better flow.
1. users go the hosted SPA in your URL;
2. the first time they load the page, due to the presence of an appcache,
files will be stored in the browser and remain accessible when offline;
3. they can start inputting data or doing
2 is probably your best option. Just use attachments. /db/doc/index.html
better yet, if possible: host the static files for the SPA yourself, use
the HTML appcache so the files will be avaliable for the users even when
offline, then let the users input their own CouchDB URL/passwords in the
app.
Hi Darryl.
By "deploying a CouchDB to an end users computer" you mean the client side?
Because if you do, I think you would be interested in PouchDB. You can
build a desktop app with Electon (HTML/CSS/JS) and use PouchDB to store
local data (offline apps), and later sync them with your CouchDB
Hi Darryl,
I've had really good luck using Python Flask web services supported by a
CouchDB (Cloudant) backend. That will expand your target support from
Windows to most platforms, and might be less overhead if you're talking
about a fairly simple application. I've been down the couch-app route
I have been tinkering with CouchDB for about a year and I really like it.
What I have been able to find out the best way to do is deploying a CouchDB
to an end users computer. I expect the end users to be fairly dumb.
During the key times they application will be used, Internet may or may not
be
