Installing CouchDB on IaaS?

After many many google searches I am still unclear on how to install a CouchDB instance on an Infrastructure as a Service cloud service. I have looked into DBaaS options such as Cloudant, but for initial testing I would like to host the database on an IaaS.

Specifically, I am wanting to host my database on Nifty Cloud, a Japan-only IaaS. Is this even possible?

I can use Windows or CentOS Linux.

  1. Get SSH credentials for your booked IaaS OS e.g. CentOS
  2. Login
  3. Create a CouchDB user
  4. Download the CouchDB sources
  5. Build the sources
  6. Set access and execution rights
  7. Configure the local.ini
  8. Start the CouchDB
  9. visit the Futon admin page under yourip:port/_utils

You find a step-by-step description for several OS's in the CouchDB installation notes.
