Ok. I was able to install Couchdb on a live session of xubuntu. Imagine that internal arrangements will be similar with Debian and Ubuntu. I used the existing Couchdb instructions but substituted "bionic" for "distribution", since the existing documentation is lagging behind.
The option configuration file appears to be at : /opt/couchdb/etc/local.ini The Couch setup menu seems to have been updated. The "Security" menu isn't there, but instead there is "Permissions". You don't appear to need to specify admin and members with ["name"] syntax any more. There is no "Update" button. I was not able to get noteself to connect to the new database. Well, I have no evidence that i connected. At no point did it pop up and ask me for name/password. Attempting to create new tiddlers did not appear to update the database I had set up. There were cryptic error messages in NS. The couch screen reported 0 # of docs. I assume that NS will create docs? But it also said 225KB of data. But I could not find any way to display that data or even a field listing, and the number didn't budge when I copied in an image file. The only data I could display was a short pieces of JSON, which could not account for the 225k. Even if it all worked, how would someone set it up offline, if they weren't able to connect to https://noteself.github.io/online/ ?? I attempted to delete the database data locally (through the pouch plugin utility) and then re-connect to the database. But no tiddlers were restored from the local couch server. As far as I can tell, there was no communication between the server and the NS instance. The main configuration screen doesn't have a place for a user name, but the pouchdb in the settings does. Shouldn't they both have a field for user name? As I've mentioned before, the code for deleting an instance appears to leave significant bits behind. So when you try to reconnect there is a conflict between the pieces that it does and doesn't remember. -- Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
