Hi folks,

We've started using CouchDB recently and decided to start with your 2.0
release. We're really loving the platform so far. We are trying to deploy
CouchDB 2.0 with a configuration management application called Salt. I have
a working configuration that does 99% of the install - although there
appear to be a couple of final steps that need to be performed in a web
browser which is not ideal from a config management PoV.

So here are the final steps I have - please correct me if I am not doing
this right. I saw an error in my logs which Googling brought me to this
Hacker News thread:

The technique proposed seems to work fine. I go to
http://hostname:5984/_utils, create an admin account and then proceed to
the single server setup which completes the installation of the necessary
database tables. So my question is:

Is there any way to set up the admin account and trigger the database
tables to be created without an administrator visiting the server in a web
browser?

many thanks in advance for your valuable time,

Dan Ballance.
