Datum is a personal database for collecting and analyzing data on your life
Record timestamped occur data for point-based time series data tracking:
datum occur alcohol type=beer
datum occur vitamin -t 9:15am # flexibly control time of occurence, relative and absolute
Record start/end data for block-based time series data tracking:
datum start sleep
datum end sleep
Record state based time series data:
datum switch project emails
datum switch project meeting
datum switch project end
Even record non time based arbitrary data:
datum add person name=Nate city=Berlin
pnpm install --global @vividn/datum
npm install -g @vividn/datum
yarn global add @vividn/datum
in repo: pnpm run system
Datum uses PouchDB as its default database backend. However, you can use datum to talk directly to CouchDB if you would like. Use --host or change the host: option in the config to point to a CouchDb server and then either set the $COUCHDB_USER and $COUCHDB_PASSWORD environment variables or set the values in the config.
See installation instructions here for installing a CouchDb: https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/
As admin, setup a datum database inside of CouchDb and make sure your user has admin rights to this database.
