Open MCT is packaged along with a few general-purpose plugins among them the CouchDB plugin:

*`openmct.plugins.CouchDB` is an adapter for using CouchDB for persistence

of user-created objects. This is a constructor that takes the URL for the

CouchDB database as a parameter, e.g.

openmct.install(openmct.plugins.CouchDB('url-to-your-CouchDB-database'))

You can install and host your DB or use services like cloudanthttps://www.ibm.com/cloud/cloudant.com

To manage the DB you can use tools like Fauxton:http://couchdb.apache.org/fauxton-visual-guide/, it commonly comes bundled with CouchDB installation.

To avoid Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) on remote servers connections please config your CORS settings and add your domain. For instance on Cloudant:


You have to create a database for the app and then create an user or API Key to grant database permissions for writing/reading it.


if you have the LocalStorage plugin enabled you have to remove its call from index.html and replace it for the CouchDB plugin.

After that you have to copy the url of your DB and paste it as an argument of the CouchDB plugin call:

openmct.install(openmct.plugins.CouchDB('CouchDB-host/database-name'))

Any config issue you can refer to CouchDBhttp://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.1.1/.
