The official way to configure a couchdb cluster ?
Hello,
I want to deploy couchdb on a cluster of 2 or 3 servers on the
internet, mainly to benefit from nodes synchronization.
I read the documentation, the wiki, and some configuration examples
but I don't understand yet how to synchronize nodes between each
other.
So my question is: what must I do ? :) I guess I have to add a
Replicator event, but how many times ? A replicator event must to be
set each time I want to synchronize ? Or is it automatic ? Or nothing
to be done with Replicator mechanism ?
Thanks for your help.

You need to use CouchDB's replication facility.

This is entirely up to you and your application. All the replication does is
copy documents from one node to another. You must decide, for your use case, how
often you need to run this and what you are going to do with the conflicts.
