[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-1848) Multi replication UI in Fauxton
for replicating a set of databases
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1848?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13702905#comment-13702905 ]
Bob Ippolito commented on COUCHDB-1848:
---------------------------------------
I have a use case for this feature. My app CodeCosmos.com https://github.com/CodeCosmos creates a database for each user. The rationale for this is simple: I'm using PouchDB on the client, so the only reasonable thing to do in order to get bidirectional replication working without leaking information to users that shouldn't see it is to structure it this way.
So, now I have N+1 (_user + len(_user)) databases to worry about, and I need to replicate them from one Couch to another. My immediate need is that I'm teaching this class at a school where internet is spotty, so we ended up using a Couch hosted on my laptop, and now I want to dump it all into the central server (hosted at Iris Couch) for redundancy and so the students can access their data off-site. In this particular case, today, N is 17 so it's doable by hand or with a small script, but I don't think I'm the only one with this problem.

> Sometimes you want to be able to replicate a set of local databases to a remote server, or vice versa. A simple approach would be to allow the user to select a list of databases, and then specify a remote database to replicate to.
> Another nice feature would be to support the inverse, where you can specify a remote CouchDB to open, select the list of databases you're interested in, and then replicate those all locally.
