Hello Band, I’m sorry to hear you are having issues setting this up. Thank you for the detailed feedback!
1) Do all parties need to have couchdb installed to get multiuser working?
Not really, it should be on a server or on a single pc, this instance will be now the “couchdb server” each drafft app will be a client.
2) Do we need a domain name for CORS, or are able to use our port IP (clicking on the link that is meant to lead to couchdb’s CORS documentation just leads to an inactive page)?
CORS is always complicated, check: https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/config/http.html?highlight=cors#cors you can work with just IP address without issues I think.
*What do you mean by “connectivity of each user to a server”? *
Each user should be able to “reach” the server via http/https
*Distinct user name in which program? CouchDB? Drafft? The drafft database alone? All of the above? * In drafft there is a username option (look for “options” in the main menu)
What do you mean by “init a project by the same name”?
Every user should create a project that has the same name. Click on ProjectManager -> Create New Project. this will ensure each user is pointing to the same database.
(4) That sounds like a bug! if there’s any chance that you could provide me some sample export that would be great.
Thank you again for the feedback! I will try to record some videos and update docs this weekend!
