Let's use Futon to replicate our local _users
database to the _users
database that we created on Cloudant.
1. Open Futon in the browser and click on Replicator, or you can navigate directly to
http://localhost:5984/_utils/replicator.html
.2. Make sure that you are signed in as the
administrator
; if you are not, click on Login and sign in as anadministrator
.3. Select the
_users
database in the Replicate changes from the dropdown list.4. Click on the Remote database radio button in the To section.
5. In the Remote database text field, enter the URL of the database at Cloudant along with the credentials. The format of the URL will look similar to
https://username:[email protected]/_users
.6. Click on Replicate, and CouchDB will push your local database to Cloudant.
7. You'll see the familiar results from Futon.
