Is that possible to setup CouchDB enabled website URL mapping without Apache as reverse proxy?

Question

Actually I'm running this with Apache as reverse proxy in front of CouchDB:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName abc.com
        ServerAlias www.abc.com

        ProxyPass /abc http://localhost:5984/abc
        ProxyPassReverse /abc http://localhost:5984/abc

        ProxyPass /_session http://localhost:5984/_session
        ProxyPassReverse /_session http://localhost:5984/_session

        ProxyPass / http://localhost:5984/abc/_design/tt/_rewrite/
        ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:5984/abc/_design/tt/_rewrite/

</VirtualHost>

Is that possible to setup [vhosts] inside CouchDB itself to run it without Apache reverse proxy at front?

Answer 1

vhosts work with the Host HTTP header for routing primarilly.

Combine that with rewrite rules (they are part of design documents) to accomplish what you are seeking to do.
