Couchbase Sync Gateway
Gluing Couchbase Lite to Couchbase Server
The Sync Gateway manages HTTP-based data access for mobile clients. It handles access control and data routing, so that a single large Couchbase Server cluster can manage data for multiple users and complex applications.
Building From Source
To build Sync Gateway from source, you must have Go 1.2 or later installed on your computer.
On Mac or Unix systems, you can build Sync Gateway from source as follows:
Open a terminal window and change to the directory that you want to store Sync Gateway in.
Clone the Sync Gateway GitHub repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/couchbase/sync_gateway.git
Change to the sync_gateway directory:
$ cd sync_gateway
Set up the submodules:
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
Build Sync Gateway:
$ ./build.sh
Sync Gateway is a standalone, native executable located in the ./bin directory. You can run the executable from the build location or move it anywhere you want.
To update your build later, pull the latest updates from GitHub, update the submodules, and run ./build.sh again.
