Summary
On your docker hub site you mentioned in the Caveats section the following: Please note that CouchDB no longer autocreates system databases for you, as it is not known at startup time if this is a single-node or clustered CouchDB installation. With an environment variable this could be done. right?
Desired Behaviour
Make it possible to define the mode via an environment variable like this:
docker run -e COUCHDB_MODE=SINGLE|CLUSTERED -e COUCHDB_USER=admin -e COUCHDB_PASSWORD=password couchdb
Possible Solution
Adapt the dockerfile to create the required databases for single mode if the environment variable SINGLE is present.
Additional context
This feature matters to me so that newcomers have a easier time setting up couchdb.
