⁠1.5.x Apache CouchDB Images

These images provide 1.5.x versions of CouchDB, which aren't supported by the official CouchDB docker source⁠. You can either use them directly or inherit from them to make configuration changes to CouchDB.

⁠Adding an admin user

You can create an admin user easily by inheriting from this image.

ENV COUCHDB_PASSWORD supersecretpassword

RUN sed -e "s/^;admin = mysecretpassword$/${COUCHDB_USER} = ${COUCHDB_PASSWORD}/" -i /usr/local/etc/couchdb/local.ini
