Database

Data on the Food Computer 2.0 is stored in CouchDB.

• CouchDB documentation.

While the Food Computer is running, you can access the database in your browser, using the Food Computer’s IP address:

http://<food computer IP>:5984/_utils/

This will open up CouchDB’s “Futon” interface, a GUI for editing the DB.

You can also interact with the database via its API. See openag_brain API for more.
