Description

When I restart a couchdb one node cluster running in a docker container it changed the ip address and I needed to update the shards metadata to use the new node, it works in almost every database.. but can't do it in _users.. Fauxton says: "Only reserved document ids may start with underscore"

is there another way to update this databases?

I tried to edit _dbs.couch with a hexadecimal editor, but this approach didn't work
