Make couchdb database writable for any user but readable for just one user

I want to create a Couchdb 2.0 database such that




  • just a single registered user can read documents in it (and this may be the database admin)

  • any registered user can write to it.


Taking my clue from several other people I want to set up Couchdb such that any request to:



/{db}/{docid}


will be rewritten in such a way that it is handled by a _rewrite function in the design document in {db}. As I understand it, this implies that it should be rewritten to:



/{db}/_design/ddoc/_rewrite/{db}/{docid}


This design document will contain a function that (for a GET request) compares the user in the request object with the owner of the database (a constant in the function). Only when equal will the document be returned.



I modelled the rewritten url on my (rather feeble) understanding of the rewrite documentation.



Now, is this correct? Or will any request to /{db} be routed through the _rewrite function anyway? If not, how do I set this up?

          Refactoring coordinates for Minecraft Pi buildings written in Python

          Image
          0 $begingroup$ I'm fairly new to coding and I wrote this script in Python for a house with a roof in Minecraft Pi. I've found different ways to write the coordinates to make the code base shorter, but I'm wondering if it is possible for me to refactor it any further so I don't have to list each coordinate line by line. import mcpi.minecraft as minecraft import mcpi.block as block mc = minecraft.Minecraft.create() p = mc.player.getTilePos() mc.setBlocks(p.x+1, p.y, p.z+1, #Main structure starting coordinates (DO NOT ALTER) p.x+19, p.y+4, p.z+6, #Structure size/coordinates (Alters cube size) block.STONE_BRICK) mc.setBlocks(p.x+2, p.y+1, p.z+2, #Hollowing out main structure interior p.x+18, p.y+3, p.z+5, block.AIR) mc.setBlocks(p.x, p.y...
