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

[tw5] Re: Server setup tutorials; anyone interested?

I'm using xubuntu 18.04. Couchdb is not in the repository. Wonder why? And, attempting to add it with the specified PPA doesn't work either -- says there is no Release file. It appears the couchdb files for ubuntu were released just 4 days ago. It kind of looks like there is a release file.

Am attempting to follow on my pi. Couchdb is not a package automatically in the repositry. Just to be picky, if it were, it would be sudo apt-get install couchdb I'm currently so far unsucsesfully following the instuctions on Apache couchdb to install it. -- You received this message because

I know it's been a while but I've mostly finished the Note Self CouchDB setup tutorial . It should get you to the point where you actually have a working Note Self & CouchDB test environment. Anyone willing to

Further to last, in Windows, CouchDB sets itself as a Service. Its easy to stop, BUT you need Administrator privileges. Am I right? Just wondering. Josiah On Thursday, 24 May 2018 16:35:21 UTC+2, @TiddlyTweeter wrote: > > Lost Admin wrote: >>> >>> The first tutorial is a minimal setup of

Got to the beginning of Step 2, no problem on LeCouch. Behaved word-for-word as described on Windows 7. Looking forward to the next instalment to fill in the TBD! Best wishes Josiah Lost Admin wrote: > > The first tutorial is a minimal setup of CouchDB so that people can test > running their

Hi Jed, well it looks like I fell for the multiuser keyword. I will give Bob a try for a few wikis I share with my family so there might be race conditions - altough there never were so far. Cheers On Tuesday, May 22, 2018 at 3:54:59 PM UTC+2, Jed Carty wrote: > > One reason Bob works the way

[tw5] Re: Server setup tutorials; anyone interested?

Lost Admin, I have spent years at the Windows DOS Prompt and can do that very well, I am not so quick at the bash prompt, in part because they are "similar but different". The Key advantage to cpanel is I can browse files with a file manager, edit files in place upload/download, set DNS all

As there does seam to be interest, I've started. Note I haven't even finished the first tutorial as I'm writing this. But, you can have a look anyway. I'm putting them on Tiddlyspot. It seams like a good place. http://thelostadmin.tiddlyspot.com/#Tutorials lists what I've got planned. The

[tw5] Re: Server setup tutorials; anyone interested?

I only use Cpanel when I am forced to by a service provider. Given the choice, I'm old school and edit config files by hand. If you know how to turn that into something that can be managed through Cpanel, I wouldn't mind you explaining it to me after I write up the tutorials. On Monday, May

My WebDAV setup is TLS only and currently uses Apache Basic Auth (so you need a username and password). I thought about setting up Client Certificate auth but haven't done so yet. It's been running for many months so far with no weird files showing up unexpectedly (so either it's secure or the

[tw5] Re: Server setup tutorials; anyone interested?

One reason Bob works the way it does us because I run it on a raspberry pi and tiddlyserver kept using up all the resources, so Bob uses a single node process that serves all the wikis. the multiuser part isn't the big selling point for Bob, the immediate two way syncing of individual tiddlers

[tw5] Re: Server setup tutorials; anyone interested?

Lost Admin, I am keen to learn how to set up my own CouchDB (I am on the NoteSelf Forums) and I try every saver and hosting option to try and establish its use cases. My biggest gap is when It comes to a Cpanel host, I am a re-seller of hosting and would like to host savable TiddlyWikis

[tw5] Re: Server setup tutorials; anyone interested?

The main reason for me to take the WebDAV route was the limited hardware I run on. I have a Raspberry 3 as my home server which serves me quite nice for all my needs (contacts, calendar, file sync,...) and I did not want to upgrade just to have more than a few wikis. The problem with Arlen's

[tw5] Re: Server setup tutorials; anyone interested?

It's been a long time since I've had to do web-work without some interface like cpanel. It would be interesting to see how you set up webdav on vultr. Is it considered secure? (at least secure from hackers, that are always looking for a place to put their spam-links) ? The next question is,

In March I wrote a post about how to setup a almost plug and play WebDAV server for Tiddlywiki using my favorite webserver Caddy . Maybe that helps some people who do not want to fiddle around with complicated Apache configurations and there likes.

[tw5] Re: Server setup tutorials; anyone interested?

A Noteself backend tutorial I absolutely know would be used. It is where tech knowledge is less DIY enthusiast and more "I'll give it a shot if I know what buttons to press to get this great thing working." I did notice unclarity about WeDAV IIS. That's maybe slightly more DIY enthusiast, but
