Couchdb replication over dht. about kadnode HOT 5 CLOSED

You can start KadNode with "kadnode --value-id mycouchdb1.p2p" and "kadnode --value-id mycouchdb2.p2p" on the other computer. Do "kadnode-ctl import bttracker.debian.org" on both computers for boostrapping.
Then you can resolve mycouchdb2.p2p and mycouchdb1.p2p on both computers. E.g. try "ping mycouchdb1.p2p"
After an initial delay it should work.

If you have installed the debian package, you can put the initial bttracker.debian.org into /etc/kadnode/peers.txt,
set hostname in /etc/default/kadnode to mycouchdb1.p2p or something else. After /etc/init.d/kadnode start
you should be able to ping both hosts. Don't forget the .p2p suffix, otherwise KadNode won't pick it up.

You can even use mycouchdb1.p2p in your browser.. :-)

thank you for the guidelines.Is there a way to bind mycouchdb1.p2p to the couchdb port 5984?So when someone running kadnode goes to mycouchdb1.p2p it'll take him to 0.0.0.0:5984 where couchdb binds.

And a last question: how could I implement some sort of authentication handshake to find the right user between users with the same uri?

from kadnode.

KadNode is able to transfer not only the ip address, but also the port. But the DNS interfaces of KadNode (when using "ping mycouchdb1.p2p") are not able to pass along the port (DNS doesn't support that).
If you also want the port you have to add the port to the --value-id argument or the hostname (like mycouchdb1.p2p:5984).
On the other nodes you can do "kadnode-ctl search mycouchdb1.p2p" followed by "kadnode-ctl lookup mycouchdb1.p2p" to get the ip address and the port; but I don't know how you plug this into couchdb.
Maybe a script?

Regarding authentication; you could write some script that does ssh to the other node and check if
the fingerprint and login works. But that is ugly, surely there is a better.

You are great.Thank you.I will try all this when i find a second computer.For now i'm installing virtual boxes with the hope it works.

I hope it works for you. If you run into problems - let me know.
