# CouchDB Setup Guide

This guide covers the setup and configuration of CouchDB for the Adopt-a-Street application.

## Overview

CouchDB is the new primary database for Adopt-a-Street, replacing MongoDB. It provides better scalability, built-in replication, and a more flexible document model for our community street adoption platform.

## Prerequisites

- Docker and Docker Compose (for local development)
- Kubernetes cluster (for production deployment)
- Node.js and npm/bun (for running scripts)

## Local Development Setup

### 1. Using Docker Compose

Create a `docker-compose.yml` file in your project root:

```yaml
version: '3.8'

services:
  couchdb:
    image: couchdb:3.3
    container_name: adopt-a-street-couchdb
    ports:
      - "5984:5984"
      - "4369:4369"
      - "9100:9100"
    environment:
      - COUCHDB_USER=admin
      - COUCHDB_PASSWORD=admin
      - COUCHDB_SECRET=some-random-secret-string
      - NODENAME=couchdb@localhost
    volumes:
      - couchdb_data:/opt/couchdb/data
      - ./couchdb/local.d:/opt/couchdb/etc/local.d
    restart: unless-stopped

  couchdb-exporter:
    image: gesellix/couchdb-exporter:latest
    container_name: adopt-a-street-couchdb-exporter
    ports:
      - "9100:9100"
    environment:
      - COUCHDB_URL=http://localhost:5984
      - COUCHDB_USER=admin
      - COUCHDB_PASSWORD=admin
    depends_on:
      - couchdb
    restart: unless-stopped

volumes:
  couchdb_data:
```

### 2. Configuration

Create the configuration directory and file:

```bash
mkdir -p couchdb/local.d
cat > couchdb/local.d/10-adopt-a-street.ini << 'EOF'
[cors]
origins = *
credentials = true
headers = accept, authorization, content-type, origin, referer, x-csrf-token
methods = GET, PUT, POST, HEAD, DELETE
max_age = 3600

[chttpd]
bind_address = 0.0.0.0
port = 5984

[couchdb]
enable_cors = true
single_node = false
EOF
```

### 3. Start CouchDB

```bash
docker-compose up -d
```

### 4. Verify Installation

```bash
# Check if CouchDB is running
curl http://localhost:5984/_up

# Expected response: {"status":"ok"}
```

## Database Initialization

### 1. Create Database

```bash
# Using curl
curl -X PUT http://admin:admin@localhost:5984/adopt-a-street

# Or use the setup script
cd backend
bun run setup:couchdb
```

### 2. Create Indexes

The application will automatically create necessary indexes on startup. You can also create them manually:

```bash
# Create design document with indexes
curl -X PUT http://admin:admin@localhost:5984/adopt-a-street/_design/adopt-a-street \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @couchdb-indexes.json
```

## Environment Configuration

Update your `.env` file with CouchDB configuration:

```bash
# CouchDB Configuration
COUCHDB_URL=http://localhost:5984
COUCHDB_DB_NAME=adopt-a-street
COUCHDB_USER=admin
COUCHDB_PASSWORD=admin
COUCHDB_SECRET=some-random-secret-string

# Legacy MongoDB (keep for migration if needed)
# MONGO_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/adopt-a-street
```

## Migration from MongoDB

If you have existing data in MongoDB, use the migration script:

```bash
# From project root
bun scripts/migrate-to-couchdb.js

# Or with environment variables
COUCHDB_URL=http://localhost:5984 \
COUCHDB_DB=adopt-a-street \
MONGO_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/adopt-a-street \
bun scripts/migrate-to-couchdb.js
```

### Migration Process

1. **Backup**: Always backup your MongoDB data before migration
2. **Schema Mapping**: The script maps MongoDB collections to CouchDB document types
3. **Relationships**: Foreign keys are converted to document references
4. **Indexes**: Creates appropriate CouchDB indexes for performance
5. **Validation**: Verifies data integrity after migration

## Production Deployment (Kubernetes)

### 1. Deploy CouchDB StatefulSet

```bash
# Apply CouchDB configuration
kubectl apply -f deploy/k8s/couchdb-configmap.yaml

# Deploy CouchDB
kubectl apply -f deploy/k8s/couchdb-statefulset.yaml

# Wait for CouchDB to be ready
kubectl wait --for=condition=ready pod -l app=couchdb -n adopt-a-street --timeout=120s
```

### 2. Configure Secrets

```bash
# Copy and edit secrets template
cp deploy/k8s/secrets.yaml.example deploy/k8s/secrets.yaml

# Generate strong passwords
COUCHDB_PASSWORD=$(openssl rand -base64 32)
COUCHDB_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 32)

# Edit the secrets file with your values
nano deploy/k8s/secrets.yaml

# Apply secrets
kubectl apply -f deploy/k8s/secrets.yaml
```

### 3. Update Backend Configuration

The backend deployment is already configured to use CouchDB. Just ensure the secrets are properly set.

### 4. Verify Deployment

```bash
# Check pod status
kubectl get pods -n adopt-a-street -l app=couchdb

# Check logs
kubectl logs -f adopt-a-street-couchdb-0 -n adopt-a-street

# Port forward for testing
kubectl port-forward svc/adopt-a-street-couchdb 5984:5984 -n adopt-a-street
```

## Monitoring and Maintenance

### 1. Health Checks

CouchDB provides built-in health endpoints:

```bash
# Basic health check
curl http://localhost:5984/_up

# Detailed status
curl http://localhost:5984/_stats

# Active tasks
curl http://localhost:5984/_active_tasks
```

### 2. Metrics

The CouchDB exporter provides Prometheus-compatible metrics:

```bash
# Access metrics
curl http://localhost:9100/metrics
```

### 3. Backup and Restore

#### Backup

```bash
# Create backup
curl -X GET http://admin:admin@localhost:5984/adopt-a-street/_all_docs?include_docs=true > backup.json

# Or use couchdb-dump
docker exec adopt-a-street-couchdb couchdb-dump -u admin -p admin -d adopt-a-street > backup.json
```

#### Restore

```bash
# Restore from backup
curl -X POST http://admin:admin@localhost:5984/adopt-a-street/_bulk_docs \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @backup.json
```

### 4. Compaction

Regular compaction helps maintain performance:

```bash
# Compact database
curl -X POST http://admin:admin@localhost:5984/adopt-a-street/_compact

# Compact views
curl -X POST http://admin:admin@localhost:5984/adopt-a-street/_compact/design-doc-name
```

## Performance Optimization

### 1. Indexing Strategy

- Create indexes for frequently queried fields
- Use partial indexes where possible
- Monitor index size and performance

### 2. Document Design

- Keep documents reasonably sized (< 1MB)
- Use appropriate document structure
- Avoid deeply nested documents

### 3. Query Optimization

- Use specific selectors in queries
- Limit result sets with `limit` and `skip`
- Use view functions for complex queries

## Security Best Practices

### 1. Authentication

- Use strong passwords for admin users
- Create application-specific users with limited permissions
- Enable HTTPS in production

### 2. Authorization

- Implement proper validation in the application layer
- Use CouchDB's security features for additional protection
- Regularly review user permissions

### 3. Network Security

- Restrict access to CouchDB ports
- Use VPN or private networks for cluster communication
- Enable firewall rules as needed

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

#### 1. Connection Refused

```bash
# Check if CouchDB is running
docker ps | grep couchdb

# Check logs
docker logs adopt-a-street-couchdb
```

#### 2. Authentication Failed

```bash
# Verify credentials
curl -u admin:admin http://localhost:5984/_session

# Check user configuration
curl -u admin:admin http://localhost:5984/_config/admins
```

#### 3. Database Not Found

```bash
# List databases
curl -u admin:admin http://localhost:5984/_all_dbs

# Create database
curl -X PUT -u admin:admin http://localhost:5984/adopt-a-street
```

#### 4. Index Not Working

```bash
# Check index status
curl -u admin:admin http://localhost:5984/adopt-a-street/_index

# Rebuild index
curl -X POST -u admin:admin http://localhost:5984/adopt-a-street/_index/_design/adopt-a-street
```

### Logs and Debugging

```bash
# View CouchDB logs
docker logs -f adopt-a-street-couchdb

# Enable debug logging (in local.ini)
[log]
level = debug
```
