Base docker image to run a CouchDB database server
To create the image tutum/couchdb, execute the following command on the tutum-docker-couchdb folder:
docker build -t tutum/couchdb .
To run the image and bind to port 5984:
docker run -d -p 5984:5984 tutum/couchdb
The first time that you run your container, a new user admin with all privileges
will be created in CouchDB with a random password. To get the password, check the logs
of the container by running:
docker logs <CONTAINER_ID>
You will see an output like the following:
========================================================================
You can now connect to this CouchDB server using:
curl http://admin:BCRmhDz4hT7g@<host>:<port>
Please remember to change the above password as soon as possible!
========================================================================
In this case, BCRmhDz4hT7g is the password allocated to the admin user.
You can now test your deployment:
curl http://admin:[email protected]:5984/
If you want to use a preset password instead of a random generated one, you can
set the environment variable COUCHDB_PASS to your specific password when running the container:
docker run -d -p 5984:5984 -e COUCHDB_PASS="mypass" tutum/couchdb
You can now test your deployment:
curl http://admin:[email protected]:5984/
Done!
