#Karten Server

This is the server component to the flashcard iOS app Karten, found here: https://github.com/akfreas/karten-iphone. The server component is responsible for user creation and management, as well as interaction with the CouchDB instance that the iOS app uses to synchronize its flashcard content.

#Requirements

You can use the Karten Chef Cookbook to get your instance up and running, otherwise you will need to do the following:

###Install pip requirements

Use pip install -r requirements.pip found in the root directory of the project to install the required packages.

###Install CouchDB server

Load up CouchDB and ensure that it's accessible to the machine running the Karten Server.
Create a user on the server that has the ability to add and delete users, as well as change their password. Then, add this following to your local_settings.py file:

COUCHDB_SERVERS = {
        'Karten' : {
            'url_scheme' : 'http',
            'host'       : '0.0.0.0',
            'port'       : '5984'
        }
    }

COUCHDB_CREDENTIALS = {
        'Karten' : {
            'username' : 'CouchDBUserName',
            'password' : 'CouchDBPassword',
            }
        }

###Management

Set up your favorite config of web app management tools. I used gunicorn, supervisor, and Nginx to get started.
