+
+This project is backed by a nosql database, couchdb.
+
+[docs on couchbase permissions and users](https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/intro/security.html#users-documents)
+
+Here is how to create the db and give user gemlog-cli access:
+
+```shell
+$ curl -X PUT http://admin:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@eisenhorn:5023/gemlog
+$ curl -X PUT http://admin:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@eisenhorn:5023/gemlog/_security \
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d '{"admins": { "names": [], "roles": [] }, "members": { "names": ["gemlog-cli"], "roles": [] } }'
+```
