- Create a CouchDB service
- ========================
- .. include:: example_header.inc
- Here's an example of using data volumes to share the same data between 2 couchdb containers.
- This could be used for hot upgrades, testing different versions of couchdb on the same data, etc.
- Create first database
- ---------------------
- Note that we're marking /var/lib/couchdb as a data volume.
- .. code-block:: bash
- COUCH1=$(docker run -d -v /var/lib/couchdb shykes/couchdb:2013-05-03)
- Add data to the first database
- ------------------------------
- We're assuming your docker host is reachable at `localhost`. If not, replace `localhost` with the public IP of your docker host.
- .. code-block:: bash
- HOST=localhost
- URL="http://$HOST:$(docker port $COUCH1 5984)/_utils/"
- echo "Navigate to $URL in your browser, and use the couch interface to add data"
- Create second database
- ----------------------
- This time, we're requesting shared access to $COUCH1's volumes.
- .. code-block:: bash
- COUCH2=$(docker run -d -volumes-from $COUCH1) shykes/couchdb:2013-05-03)
- Browse data on the second database
- ----------------------------------
- .. code-block:: bash
- HOST=localhost
- URL="http://$HOST:$(docker port $COUCH2 5984)/_utils/"
- echo "Navigate to $URL in your browser. You should see the same data as in the first database!"
- Congratulations, you are running 2 Couchdb containers, completely isolated from each other *except* for their data.
