1.6.1-geocouch: add Dockerfile FROM couchdb:1.6.1 for geocouch plugin

[almereyda]

This pull request commits a Dockerfile for GeoCouch, building upon the couchdb:1.6.1 Docker image and the plugin pattern known from couchdb:1.6.1-couchperuser.

This could probably be integrated into a set of official CouchDB Docker images as of docker-library/official-images#1288

How would I have to add testing, like checking for the expected return in https://github.com/couchbase/geocouch/tree/couchdb1.3.x#using-geocouch?

🎉 Awesome! This can and should definitely be included in the official image.

Couple of questions:

• There's no way of building geocouch without the CouchDB source, right?
• How big is the image in the end?

As for testing: I don't really have testing set up right now, but maybe it's something worth looking into. You could curl in docker-entrypoint.sh to be sure that the couch comes up with the plugin.

1. I suppose @vmx knew an answer. Let's imagine we had official binary releases of GeoCouch for different CouchDB/Couchbase platforms. I believe generating verified builds of that is a bit out of scope for this PR. Then we'd also only reference the plugin path and copy the tests, no?
2. The image 12c5547dfc08, currently available at https://hub.docker.com/r/almereyda/geocouch/, wheights 347,6 MB, which is a half more than the couchdb:1.6.1 source with 226,4 MB.
3. I will try to implement the "test" so we know for sure it's not broken and the build succeeds.

if you rm couchdb.tar.gz here we can save 12MB. Otherwise it'll get committed to this layer.

Could you combine fetching couchdb, building geocouch and cleaning up in one big RUN command? That should save same bytes.

[almereyda]

Yes, I had another idea tonight involving using ONBUILD commands on a
couchdb-base image and then deleting the source files from the images using
it.

What's the status on this one? :)

[almereyda]

Oh, I see #46 has been merged. For me this is tightly coupled with dokku/dokku-couchdb#5 as I need the GeoCouch in a Dokku development environment for https://github.com/TransforMap/data.transformap.co.
I suppose I will have time and energy to look into this next week again?

[klaemo]

No worries, I was just checking in.

Do it at your own pace :) I would love to get this in the official image, but I'm in no rush.

@almereyda appreciate this issue hasn't been touched in a while but this repository is moving to https://github.com/apache/couchdb-docker. If you want to continue with the PR, could you reissue it against the new repository?

[almereyda]

Hi @willholley, thanks for the information. Let's indeed close here and reissue once appropriate.
