#labels Stage-Alpha

= Introduction =

This is an experimental Prosody backend for CouchDB.

= Configuration =
In your config file, in the global section add:
{{{
datastore = "couchdb";
couchdb_url = "http://127.0.0.1:5984/database-name";
}}}
In your config file, in the modules_enabled list, add "storage" as the first module:
{{{
modules_enabled = {
   "storage";
   ...
}
}}}

= Compatibility =

Only works with trunk. As the trunk API is in flux, update this module as well when you update trunk.

= Quirks =

This implementation is a work in progress.

 * The data stored in couchdb is limited to: account data, rosters, private XML and vCards
