This is a collection of several files used to configure necessary settings and permissions for CouchDB in AWS and local development.
The BTC Infrastructure repository contains a copy of these files that it uses to automatically configure a new CouchDB server instance.
If this repository is updated the copy in BTC Infrastructure also needs to be updated.
Unfortunately, there seems to be no simple way to directly use these files to configure CouchDB. You may try to use this module like AWS, but it may just be easier to do your configuration manually using the CouchDB web admin interface. Simply login as an admin and copy the configuration and design docs.
