Message after installing

If this is the first time you are installing couchdb3, you will need
to add a default administrator, and initialise the database node.

If you are upgrading an existing couchdb3 installation < 2.0, you will
need to replicate your databases across with HTTP, and manually apply
any security objects and local.ini settings.

If you are upgrading from 2.0 and newer,  you can simply re-use the
existing database and views directory, amending your local.ini file
accordingly:

[couchdb]
uuid = ....
database_dir = /var/db/couchdb/data
view_index_dir = /var/db/couchdb/views

In both cases, make sure your javascript functions are compliant with
modern JS, as the SpiderMonkey 60 engine is more strict than its
predecessors used in older CouchDB versions.

For a single node setup, append an inital administrator username and
password to the [admins] section of your local.ini, and a [log] section:

[admins]
admin = passwd
[log]
# http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/config/logging.html
level = err
include_sasl = true
writer = syslog
syslog_host = localhost

Amend /usr/local/etc/couchdb3/vm.args as required, at least altering the cookie.

Then, start Apache CouchDB, and run the following commands once the
database is started for the first time, amending admin:passwd to match
your choice above to initialise the default databases:

sudo service couchdb3 start

curl -X PUT http://admin:[email protected]:5984/_users
curl -X PUT http://admin:[email protected]:5984/_replicator
curl -X PUT http://admin:[email protected]:5984/_global_changes

Then use the admin interface at http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/# as usual.

databases/couchdb3: Resolve bundled OTP versions dynamically in PLIST_SUB

The release bundles erts and 13 OTP applications from lang/erlang-runtime28, and pkg-plist pinned each of their versioned directory names. Six of the last eight plist commits were pure OTP rename churn, the largest touching 610 lines, while the 3.5.2 update itself touched 23. Derive the versions from the installed runtime at plist-generation time instead. The package file list is unchanged: resolving the tokenized plist with the versions this build staged reproduces the previous pkg-plist byte for byte, so no PORTREVISION bump is needed. An erlang-runtime28 update now needs only a PORTREVISION bump. Note this reads ${LOCALBASE}/lib/erlang28 rather than the staged release, because generate-plist runs before do-install; it holds as long as the …
