Installs and configures CouchDB. Optionally can install CouchDB from sources.
Requires a platform that can install Erlang from distribution packages.
Originally tested on Debian 5+, Ubuntu 8.10+, OpenBSD and FreeBSD.
Also works on Red Hat, CentOS and Fedora, requires the EPEL yum repository.
Tested via Test Kitchen (1.0-alpha):
- Ubuntu 10.04, 12.04
- CentOS 5.8, 6.3
- erlang
When using the couchdb::source
recipe, the build-essential
recipe
is required. It is not a direct dependency of this cookbook as it is
an optional installation method, and package installation is
recommended.
Cookbook attributes are named under the couch_db
keyspace.
node['couch_db']['src_checksum']
- sha256sum of the default version of couchdb to downloadnode['couch_db']['src_version']
- default version of couchdb to download, used in the full URL to download.node['couch_db']['src_mirror']
- full URL to download.node['couch_db']['install_erlang']
- specify if erlang should be installed prior to couchdb, true by default.
The local.ini
file is dynamically generated from attributes. Each key in
node['couch_db']['config']
is a CouchDB configuration directive, and will
be rendered in the config file. For example, the attribute:
node['couch_db']['config']['httpd']['bind_address'] = "0.0.0.0"
Will result in the following lines in the local.ini
file:
[httpd]
bind_address = "0.0.0.0"
The attributes file contains default values for platform-independent parameters. All parameter values that expect a path argument are not set by default. The default values that are currently set have been taken from the CouchDB configuration wiki page.
The resulting configuration file is now dynamically rendered from the
attributes. Each subkey below the config
key is a specific section
of the local.ini
file. Then each subkey in a section is a parameter
associated with a value.
You should consult the CouchDB documentation for specific configuration details.
For values that are "on" or "off", they should be specified as literal
true
or false
. Any configuration option set to the literal nil
will
be skipped entirely. All other values (e.g., string, numeric literals) will
be used as is. So for example:
node.default['couch_db']['config']['couchdb']['os_process_timeout'] = 5000
node.default['couch_db']['config']['couchdb']['delayed_commits'] = true
node.default['couch_db']['config']['couchdb']['batch_save_interval'] = nil
node.default['couch_db']['config']['httpd']['port'] = 5984
node.default['couch_db']['config']['httpd']['bind_address'] = "127.0.0.1"
Will result in the following config lines:
[couchdb]
os_process_timeout = 5000
delayed_commits = true
[httpd]
port = 5984
bind_address = 127.0.0.1
(no line printed for batch_save_interval
as it is nil
)
Here the list of attributes that are already provided by the recipe and their associated default value.
node['couch_db']['config]['couchdb']['max_document_size']
- Maximum size of a document in bytes, defaults to4294967296
(4 GB
).node['couch_db']['config]['couchdb']['max_attachment_chunk_size']
- Maximum chunk size of an attachment in bytes, defaults to4294967296
(4 GB
).node['couch_db']['config]['couchdb']['os_process_timeout']
- OS process timeout for view and external servers in milliseconds, defaults to5000
(5 seconds
).node['couch_db']['config]['couchdb']['max_dbs_open']
- Upper bound limit on the number of databases that can be open at one time, defaults to100
.node['couch_db']['config]['couchdb']['delayed_commits']
- Determines if commits should be delayed, defaults totrue
.node['couch_db']['config]['couchdb']['batch_save_size']
- Number of document at which to save a batch, defaults to1000
.node['couch_db']['config]['couchdb']['batch_save_interval']
- Interval after which to save batches in milliseconds, default to1000
(1 second
).
node['couch_db']['config']['httpd']['port']
- Port CouchDB should bind to, defaults to5984
.node['couch_db']['config']['httpd']['bind_address']
- IP address CouchDB should bind to, defaults to127.0.0.1
.
node['couch_db']['config']['log']['level']
- CouchDB's log level, defaults toinfo
.
Installs the couchdb package, creates the data directory and starts the couchdb service.
Downloads the CouchDB source from the Apache project site, plus development dependencies. Then builds the binaries for installation, creates a user and directories, then sets up the couchdb service. Uses the init script provided in the cookbook.
