docker-couchdb

A docker container for running CouchDB server which extends docker-library/couchdb as base.

This docker image is for development purposes only.

How to run

The container can be run as a CouchDB server:

docker run -d --name couchdb -p 5984:5984 \
           -e COUCHDB_USER=admin -e COUCHDB_PASSWORD=password \
           -v $HOME/data-couchdb:/usr/local/var/lib/couchdb \
           mcreations/couchdb

For creating initial databases, there is an environment parameter DATABASE_NAMES which can contain comma-separated list of multiple database names as follows:

docker run -d --name couchdb -p 5984:5984 \
           -e COUCHDB_USER=admin -e COUCHDB_PASSWORD=password \
           -e DATABASE_NAMES=db1,db2,db3 \
           -v $HOME/data-couchdb:/usr/local/var/lib/couchdb \
           mcreations/couchdb

For testing the server use:

curl http://127.0.0.1:5984/

You should see the following response:

{"couchdb":"Welcome","uuid":"fedf61e4b737d055c1856a2f41ce6563","version":"1.6.1","vendor":{"version":"1.6.1","name":"The Apache Software Foundation"}}
