title: How to access CouchDB server from another computer?
body: <p>I created a couchDB on my computer, that is I used the Python line <code>server = couchdb.Server('http://localhost:5984')</code></p>
  
  <p>I want to share this database with two other colleagues. How can I make it available to them? For the moment, I am comfortable giving them full admin privileges until I get a better handle on this. </p>
  
  <p>I tried to read the relevant parts of <em>CouchDB: The Definitive Guide</em>,  but I still don't get it. </p>
  
  <p>How would they access it? They can't just type in my computer's IP address?</p>
