Thank you Joan! It took me some time to figure our where those CouchDB config files are on my Mac but I did get it back to “Admin Party” and got some testing done.
What I want to play with is configuring my web apps to use a locally installed CouchDB instead of my internet based CouchDB server. I think this can be a pretty cool option for end users. All their data is in their hands and control and they have options to backup their data onsite and offsite, and using 3rd party services. My initial tests show my app to be a lot faster, which should be expected because it’s not running over the internet at all. I’m not thinking using “Admin Party” is the best option, but it may be the easiest for end users so I wanted to look at how that would work. With PouchDB.js I can create a DB for the user, and a “_user” file, and some files in their DB that my apps use. I’ve not figured out how to create a “_security” file for a user’s DB with PouchDB yet, but I’m not sure I can’t. I know there are some issues using this approach. For example, before I got my CouchDB back to "Admin Party” I had to create a form field that contains the user’s CouchDB admin credentials. That’s not good. And with "Admin Party” a web app could potentially grab all a user’s data. And there are surely some issues I don’t know of yet, but it’s a pretty cool way to approach that component of developing and using web apps if it can be secure and I’d like to work with it. Any thoughts on this? —Bill > On May 3, 2020, at 2:51 PM, Joan Touzet <[email protected]> wrote: > > Remove all admin users defined in [admins]. > > On 2020-05-03 3:23 p.m., Bill Stephenson wrote: >> No, I want to play with it a bit to see how I can use it in Admin Party mode >> (as if I just installed it). >> —Bill >>> On May 3, 2020, at 2:19 PM, Daniel Holth <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> Do you want to find the local.ini and put a new password in?
