This project is a proof of concept for synching pouchdb - couchdb databases, using base64 images as documents. Since 19/02/2018, the sync is done over websocket of sync gateway.

Couchbase server (https://www.couchbase.com/products/server)

Sync gateway (https://www.couchbase.com/products/sync-gateway)

Electron packager (https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-packager) npm install -g electron-packager

Once Couchbase server is running, connect using root account, and create images bucket. Then create a user account, which will be used in sync gateway. This user needs read/write rights on the images bucket.

Then, adapt the configuration file of sync gateway to accept CORS, map the images database to the images bucket, and provide user credentials to access the couchbase bucket. A - very - useful config sample is provided at the root location of the project (serviceconfig.json).

Supports Electron (windows & OS X) packaging, using the following command lines:

npm run package-win
npm run package-osx

Support of windows and OS X installers is on-going, but not yet bug free. Command lines are:

npm run install-win
npm run install-osx
