I know it's been a while but I've mostly finished the Note Self CouchDB setup tutorial <http://thelostadmin.tiddlyspot.com/#How%20to%20Setup%20CouchDB%20for%20Note%20Self>. It should get you to the point where you actually have a working Note Self & CouchDB test environment. Anyone willing to test, please do so and let me know where things aren't as clear as they could be.
I need to reset my Windows setup and re-built it to get a few more screen shots (and validate I didn't miss anything). Once that is done, I'm going to make a second tutorial that adds HTTPS support and makes it reasonable to consider putting it on the Internet. You can get a VM for as little as US$2.50 that is sufficient for a single user, so I figured HTTPS would be worth explaining. I'm currently doing this with Vultr.com (https://www.vultr.com/?ref=7210118)[1] and using Note Self as a privately hosted One Note alternative. Once I'm done with the tutorials I will configure the CouchDB on my home computer to sync with the one on Vultr so that I even have off-site backup. I'll probably make a tutorial on this as well. It is dead easy. [1] If you sign up with Vultr and pay for hosting, I get a token amount of credit for directing you there. If this is considered inappropriate for this forum, let me know and I'll remove the link and mention of Vultr.
