Does anyone know of a step by step installation guide for CouchDB in the free tier 32bit AWS EC2 instance?
Keep in mind that YUM is limited by default and I would need to add yum.repos to get extra stuff. I’ve tried all different articles and RPMs but none seem to work.
I also tried couchbase but it has extremely poor post-install instructions. The server start but then what? I couldn’t find the files, configs, or install directories. And, how do I access it?
CouchDB sounds like such a great database but it really needs to break these barriers of entry. MongoDb has better docs, although I couldn’t get that to work either (I spent a fraction of the time trying, though).
Thanks 🙂
The apache team put together this quick script that installs CouchDB (thanks @_jhs
for build-couchdb!) on an Amazon Linux AMI:

If you are using cloudinit + the EC2 command line tools, simply use
ec2-run-instances with –user-data-file (you will need some mods to
the script to save the password or locally generate one) and voila’.
Relaxing FTW.
Worked like a charm for me!
