# CouchDB Dockerfile
A Dockerfile that produces a Docker Image for [Apache CouchDB](http://couchdb.apache.org/).
## CouchDB version
The `master` branch currently hosts CouchDB 1.6.
Different versions of CouchDB are located at the github repo [branches](https://github.com/frodenas/docker-couchdb/branches).
## Usage
### Build the image
To create the image `frodenas/couchdb`, execute the following command on the `docker-couchdb` folder:
```
$ docker build -t frodenas/couchdb .
```
### Run the image
To run the image and bind to host port 5984:
```
$ docker run -d --name couchdb -p 5984:5984 frodenas/couchdb
```
The first time you run your container, a new user `couchdb` with all privileges will be created with a random password.
To get the password, check the logs of the container by running:
```
docker logs
```
You will see an output like the following:
```
========================================================================
CouchDB User: "couchdb"
CouchDB Password: "jPp5fBJySeuJPTN8
========================================================================
```
#### Credentials
If you want to preset credentials instead of a random generated ones, you can set the following environment variables:
* `COUCHDB_USERNAME` to set a specific username
* `COUCHDB_PASSWORD` to set a specific password
On this example we will preset our custom username and password:
```
$ docker run -d \
--name couchdb \
-p 5984:5984 \
-e COUCHDB_USERNAME=myusername \
-e COUCHDB_PASSWORD=mypassword \
frodenas/couchdb
```
#### Databases
If you want to create a database at container's boot time, you can set the following environment variables:
* `COUCHDB_DBNAME` to create a database
On this example we will preset our custom username and password and we will create a database:
```
$ docker run -d \
--name couchdb \
-p 5984:5984 \
-e COUCHDB_USERNAME=myusername \
-e COUCHDB_PASSWORD=mypassword \
-e COUCHDB_DBNAME=mydb \
frodenas/couchdb
```
#### Persistent data
The CouchDB server is configured to store data in the `/data` directory inside the container. You can map the
container's `/data` volume to a volume on the host so the data becomes independent of the running container:
```
$ mkdir -p /tmp/couchdb
$ docker run -d \
--name couchdb \
-p 5984:5984 \
-v /tmp/couchdb:/data \
frodenas/couchdb
```
