How to Deploy couchdb as a Docker container manually?

You can follow this tutorial to Deploy couchdb as a Docker container manually.

1. Verify the configuration of the couchdb container defined in the docker-compose.yml file:

$ cd ~/hyperledger-binaries/fabric-samples/basic-network

$ more docker-compose.yml

...
  couchdb:
    container_name: couchdb
    image: hyperledger/fabric-couchdb
    # Populate the COUCHDB_USER and COUCHDB_PASSWORD to set an admin user and password
    # for CouchDB.  This will prevent CouchDB from operating in an "Admin Party" mode.
    environment:
      - COUCHDB_USER=
      - COUCHDB_PASSWORD=
    ports:
      - 5984:5984
    networks:
      - basic

  ...

As you can see, the couchdb container will be using the "latest" version of "hyperledger/fabric-couchdb" docker image.

2. Bring down all containers defined docker-compose.yml file:

$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml down

3. Bring up the couchdb container defined in docker-compose.yml file. If container is not there, create it from the image. If the image is not there, download it from the Internet.

$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d couchdb

Creating network "net_basic" with the default driver
Creating couchdb ... done

4. Verify the container and the image:

$ docker container list
IMAGE                        STATUS              NAMES
hyperledger/fabric-couchdb   Up About a minute   couchdb

$ docker images | grep fabric-couchdb
IMAGE                        TAG                 SIZE
hyperledger/fabric-couchdb   latest              173MB

As you can see, the couchdb container has been manually deployed and started with the latest version of "hyperledger/fabric-couchdb" image. If the image is not available on the Docker, it will be automatically downloaded from the Docker image repository on the Internet.
