Any interest in a couchdb/desktopcouch backend?

[jwhitlark]

I was thinking that it's a pain to set these up across all my
machines, so I've been looking at the code to see how much work it
would be to have an alternate storage engine based on couchdb.

What do you think?

I use Dropbox to sync across machines. Works like a charm.

Same here! :D

Dropbox seems like a good simple solution. I think there are numerous
other ways you could also do this (rsync). I'm not familiar with
couchdb but I had a quick look and it kinda seems like overkill
(correct me if I'm wrong). If you wanted to build a super-simple user
friendly way to do this, it would be easy to create a setup where one
instance of AutoKey running on a machine acts as a config server, and
all other machines connect to it and download their config from there.

Straight couchdb might be overkill, you're right. I was thinking more
of the new Ubuntu desktopcouch stuff. (A personal oauth secured
couchdb is installed by default on 9.10, and is used to sync with
ubuntuOne). Since they are going through all the work of setting up
replication, I though it might be easy to piggyback, and get
replication (almost) for free.

Take a look at:

That sounds interesting - I'll look into it.

I think the simplest approach would be to create an alternative
persistence backend that instead of pickling to a file on disk,
pickles to memory, base 64 encode and then store in a CouchRecord. If
you want to have a go at this I'd be glad to help out - otherwise I
might work on it over the break if I have time.

I'm going to take a closer look at it over the break. I'll ping you
if I get anywhere.
