On a new EC2 instance

I've upgraded my Couch server to Ubuntu Karmic and it's so much simpler now.

[UPDATE]

The code I used to build my instance is available here. If you plan to run CouchDB on EC2, this package should get you started.

You'll have to update a few environment variables, but once you have those set you can create an image and launch an instance from it.

Once again, the Amazon Web Services API has proven to be easier than I expected it to be. The script doesn't handle EBS disks yet, but I plan to add those in the future. For now, I'm just using replication for backup.
