Binding to multiple addresses
Is it possible to bind couchdb to multiple networks?
We have an instance that is currently bound to 127.0.0.1 and the need to make it available externally as well for replication. I don't think we can switch just to external w/o leaving some internal processes in the dust.
I've tried ssh -L, but it seems prohibitively slow.
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Also, you won't be able to connect to 0.0.0.0 itself because it is a
special address used by the networking stack in the OS to mean all
adapters. So if 127.0.0.1 and your public address are working, you did it
right.

Hi Lucas,
Yes this is an important point. If you edit the ini file, you will
need to restart couchb daemon/service. If you use the HTTP API,
CouchDB will Do The Right Thing for you.

We'd welcome an update if you'd like. The docs live here:
https://github.com/apache/couchdb/tree/docs/share/doc/src
and there's some notes on doing updates here via github:

Assuming you are doing this from a shell, yes you do need them - the
shell strips off the outer set.
e.g. ' "123.45.67.89" ' is correct.
If you test with curl -v you'll see that the shell removes the ' '
single quotes, and what we are sending through to CouchDB is actually
a JSON string snippet, hence the "" double quotes are required.
The validation of these is tightened up in 1.3.x, so it may be you can
get away without the quotes on earlier versions.

Hello.
It's working for me, Gianfranco.
I set 0.0.0.0 in my local.ini conf couchdb file. and restart it.
Couch answer on 127.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.X .
But the *.*.*.* do not working. (not a matter)
So, I follow Gianfranco, any doc improvement could be nice. I'm a new and I
ask me the question during discover Couchdb.
Moreover,
Dave , in the Curl -XPUT , you put '" and " around the 0.0.0.0.
What is the correct way ? I use simplequote double quote IP double
simple. But with some character escape problems, I now use juste
doublequote IP double quote.
Thank's
Lucas

Hi Gianfranco,
bind_address = 0.0.0.0 is a very common customisation.
How are you setting it?
Can you check that the config change is active in the current config?
curl http://admin:passwd@localhost:5984/_config/httpd/bind_address
& optionally set it again via:
curl -XPUT
http://admin:passwd@localhost:5984/_config/httpd/bind_address -d
'"0.0.0.0"
You can also use `couchdb -c` to see what config files are being used
and in what order.

That actually did not work to me with CouchDB 1.2.0. 0.0.0.0 appears to be
binding locally as much as 127.0.0.1 . Could not find any documentation about it
in the CouchDB wiki at http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/ .

Yes, 0.0.0.0 binds CouchDB on all IPv4 interfaces.

Does using 0.0.0.0 work to bind on all IPv4 interfaces? I'm not in a
position to check more than loopback + eth0 but it seems sufficient to
me.

Yes, thanks that works - shows that i'm not a network guy. Much appreciated.

Have you tried binding your install to 0.0.0.0? That works for us, and we then use whatever domain we need to use to get to the sever, simply addressing it on port 5984.

0.0.0.0 will bind CouchDB to all the IP's defined for your machine. If you
want for a specific IP, replace 127.0.0.1 with that specific IP.
