CouchDB with Let's encrypt's SSL certificate for Self-hosted LiveSync.

What is this

• CouchDB Server which configured about CORS for Obsidian and Self-hosted LiveSync.
• Automatically set up SSL Certificates by Let's Encrypt (With Caddy).

Requirements

• Internet-accessible webserver
• Docker and docker-compose
• Valid domain

Limitations

• Verbose logging (Just leave it to docker now)
• Automatic detection of malicious access.

How to Use

1. Clone the repository, git clone git@github.com:vrtmrz/self-hosted-livesync-server.git
2. Create Caddy's network: docker network create caddy
3. Configure files
   1. caddy.handle_path_1: /e=_/* on docker-compose.yml
      You have to change this e=_ to something your favorite secret word.
   2. authentication_redirect = /e=_/_utils/session.html on conf/local.ini
      change e=_ too, as same as you changed on 2.1..
4. Set environment variables.

name	value	example
COUCHDB_SERVER	Your server's domain	db.example.net
COUCHDB_USER	The account name you want to access	testuser
COUCHDB_PW	The password	testpassword

5. Run docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up
   Note: If you using an arm machine, docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.arm.yml up
6. Check from the browser, open https://COUCHDB_SERVER/e=_/_utils, and try to authenticate.
7. Check from Self-hosted LiveSync, as like below

name	value	example
URI	https://COUCHDB_SERVER/e=_	https://db.example.net/e=_
Username	COUCHDB_USER	testuser
Password	COUCHDB_PW	testpassword
Database name	As you like	test

8. If you could access and use the database, docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml start to enable your server. Note: or docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.arm.yml start.
