Cloud sync questions

I'm interested in how and where the backup of the database is stored in Money Tracker. I think it would be nice if this were documented somewhere too.

From looking at the network requests it seems that you're hosting your own CouchDB at https://couch.moneytracker.cc/, and PouchDB replicates onto that. Is that correct? I wonder about the security of that.

Is it possible to configure the URL of the CouchDB replication target to our own CouchDB?

RIght, currently single CouchDB (https://couch.moneytracker.cc/) is used by all users of MoneyTracker, which is hosted on a server I pay for myself. There is currently no UI to change the URL for sync to a different instance, but it shouldn't be too complicated. PR implementing this feature would be welcome, but I don't have time myself right now :)

Okay I'll look into doing that, thanks for the reply!

I've certainly had a good look, but I'm perplexed by the project structure. I can't find any reference to https://couch.moneytracker.cc/ in the project at all. There is some seemingly relevant config in src/webtasks/CouchDbProvision.js, but that reads a configuration dictionary that's never defined. Is it put in via pre-processing? It's not in the .env file.
