Hi Geoff,
I describe one approach in the Chef CouchDB cookbook:
https://github.com/wohali/couchdb-cookbook
"One way is by downloading and extracting CouchDB's source code, changing into
the dev/ directory, and running the following one-liner, replacing MYPASSWORD
with your desired password:"
python -c 'import uuid;from pbkdf2 import
pbkdf2_hex;password="MYPASSWORD";salt=uuid.uuid4().hex;iterations=10;print("-pbkdf2-{},{},{}".format(pbkdf2_hex(password,salt,iterations,20),salt,iterations))'
-Joan

Subject: Running a CouchDB 2.0 Cluster in Production on AWS with Docker
Hi,
I finally got around to writing a post on how we are running a CouchDB 2.0
cluster in production on AWS
<https://medium.com/@redgeoff/running-a-couchdb-2-0-cluster-in-production-on-aws-with-docker-50f745d4bdbc>.
I hope this helps others to bootstrap their projects.
For the community, is there a command line tool or a simple command line
script that can be written to generate the pbkdf2 hash of a password given
the clear text password and secret? I know you can start a CouchDB node
with a clear text password in the local.ini file and then have it create
the hashed value, but this is a bit roundabout.
If you have any feedback, please send it my way.
Thanks!
Geoff
