Hi, another question regarding single-node-setup: Is it mandatory to run the setup wizard? If yes, is there a way to run the single-node-setup without the wizard, like there is for the cluster-setup?
What I'm currently doing is to configure my admin user and password beforehand in the config file and create those special databases _users, _replicator and _global_changes manually like written in the docs. CouchDB runs fine after this, however I'm always feeling guilty since I'm not 100% sure if I missed something because I didn't run the wizard. Thanks!
