Hello, I am trying to deploy nodester on my local machine, so far I have succeeded in making the proxy respond to the addresses I specified in config.js, and I have reconfigured nodester-cli to talk to my local instance, so that `nodester user register CouponCode` apparently succeeds. However no user is created, from the looks of couchdb... there doesn't even appear to be a table to create them into.

Only nodester_coupons, which I guess is working, even if there's only room for one coupon code in this version. Also the other databases that were named in example_config.js

That is as far as I can get without diving into more code, which I will probably do next. I haven't really found the slightest clue how to install `nodester-admin`, all I found is that I need to make `admin.nodester.com` an entry in `/etc/hosts` or change the string in a bunch of places in HTML files and one javascript file where the redirect is declared. Also that it can't be installed by a regular user in the "admin" slot. Maybe I could install it with an app name of my own, and move it... except for the fact that

Login fails. The couponcode register passes with no error that I can detect, and I can't guess where to look for it, if the result of that might have been written somewhere. I would create the user document myself in couchdb, and just move past, but not sure what it should look like. That is probably the easiest thing for me to figure out for myself. I don't think it's necessary to use the admin app, if you can just get past `nodester user setup`. It would be nice to have the whole shebang deployable as git submodules...

I would like to take a stab at updating your documentation, if you will help me deploy on my own machine!

Thanks,
Kingdon
