moving database

[bryan rasmussen <ra...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have a number of dbs in a couchdb installation that got for no good
reason got moved to a virtual machine. Now I would like to just copy
everything over into a new machine. Can I do that by copying stuff in
the filesystem? Or do I have to use database replication. Is there any
particular tool I could use that would take a bunch of records saved
to a filesystem and load them into a new couchdb instance?

Thanks,
Bryan Rasmussen

..or, if you prefer something fancier, you can type this in a terminal:

HOST="" && TARGET="" && for var in $(curl -X GET $HOST/_all_dbs | awk 
'{a = $1; sub(/\[/,"",a); sub(/\]/,"",a); split(a,b,","); for(i in b) 
{sub(/\"/,"",b[i]); sub(/\"/,"",b[i]); print b[i]}}') ; do curl -X POST 
$HOST/_replicate -d ’{"source":"$HOST/$var", "target":"$TARGET/$var"}’ ; 
done

Don't forget to fill in HOST and TARGET before running it. Just a script 
for fun (I hope I didn't make any typo or something like that).

Just copy the .couch files from the original to the VM. No need to do
anything fancy.
