We have different ways to connect couchdb in docker containers
>>> Using docker compose:
Step1:
create file docker-compose.yml::
version: '3'
services:
couchserver:
image: couchdb
restart: always
ports:
- "5984:5984"
environment:
- COUCHDB_USER=admin
- COUCHDB_PASSWORD=admin
volumes:
- ./dbdata:/opt/couchdb/data
Step2:
From the directory that contains your docker-compose.yml file, run:
docker-compose up -d
Step3:
Docker will pull your image and setup everything for you.
Soon as everything set, make sure your CouchDB container is up and running, but the following command:
docker ps
Step4:
Access CouchDB admin
In order to validate your working CouchDB install, head to http://localhost:5984/.
To access the CouchDB admin, head to http://localhost:5984/_utils/
