## Description
After a fresh install in a freshly installed CentOS 8, CouchDB fails to start.
Instead, CouchDB returns the following error:
```

## Your Environment
[TIP]: # ( Include as many relevant details about your environment as possible. )
[TIP]: # ( You can paste the output of curl http://YOUR-COUCHDB:5984/ here. )

@natcohen This is a breaking change in CouchDB 3.0 and expected:
* http://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/whatsnew/3.0.html
* https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/2389
In the Debian installer, the `debconf` framework allows us to prompt the user at install time for the user, and place it in an `ini` file. Unfortunately, CentOS/RedHat have no such mechanism.
To work around this, add a section like the following to your `/opt/couchdb/etc/local.ini` file:
```ini
[admins]
admin = password
```
You can then run `service start couchdb` and CouchDB will startup with your admin user.

Ok but then the doc should reflect that... Following this: https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/install/unix.html doesn't give a clue to what needs to be done.
