You can lauch external processes from the couch config file. One of those could be a script that copies the database files to the target.
If there are multiple machines and the databases must be merged, than a collection of couch database servers on the target (central) machine or environment (on different ports, or running in virtual machines) can replicate the docs into the main server... think of it like each VM is a mirror of the remote database that is radio connected. Just my quick thoughts. -Scott "Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device", not some else's. -------- Original message -------- From: Aaron Huslage <[email protected]> Date: 01/27/2014 10:30 AM (GMT-06:00) To: [email protected] Subject: Replication without IP connection Hi, I have a strange problem that I'm hoping someone either has dealt with or has ideas about solving. We have developed a medical records system as a CouchApp that allows clinicians in remote areas to submit medical records to a local server. These records need to be replicated back to a central office for reporting purposes. These remote clinics are completely disconnected from the Internet and connect to one another over HF Radio (think ham radio back in the day). The radio links are not really reliable or quick enough for PPP to work well, so we are using UUCP instead of IP. In this scenario, there is no interactive communication between nodes. Everything is batch file copies. I need a way to do a CouchDB replication using only file transfers and cron/inotify jobs. Any ideas or scripts would be helpful.
