[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-2064) Move server uuid to separate file

["Darren Gibbard (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2064?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13901532#comment-13901532 ] 

Darren Gibbard commented on COUCHDB-2064:
-----------------------------------------

Just to add to this;
We make our required configuration tweaks (for example, configuring the admin user) in local.ini; and this is centrally managed by Puppet.
Puppet in our case also auto-restarts the service when a configfile change is detected; so the auto-addition of the UUID to local.ini causes Puppet to get upset about it's managed config which is out of sync, corrects it, restarts CouchDB, rinse and repeat.

One potential option would be to just push the uuid config out to "etc/couchdb/uuid.ini" or even "etc/couchdb/local.d/uuid.ini" - ideally with a comment section at the top briefly explaining the contents of the file so people don't go scrapping it. Personally, i would suggest locating it outside of "local.d" in case a user defines something like "purge" when maintaining that directory in puppet etc.
