CouchDB Service
===============
.. include:: example_header.inc
Here's an example of using data volumes to share the same data between
two 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=$(sudo docker run -d -p 5984 -v /var/lib/couchdb shykes/couchdb:2013-05-03)
Add data to the first database
------------------------------
We're assuming your Docker host is reachable at ``localhost``. If not,
replace ``localhost`` with the public IP of your Docker host.
.. code-block:: bash
HOST=localhost
URL="http://$HOST:$(sudo docker port $COUCH1 5984 | grep -Po '\d+$')/_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=$(sudo docker run -d -p 5984 -volumes-from $COUCH1 shykes/couchdb:2013-05-03)
Browse data on the second database
----------------------------------
.. code-block:: bash
HOST=localhost
URL="http://$HOST:$(sudo docker port $COUCH2 5984 | grep -Po '\d+$')/_utils/"
echo "Navigate to $URL in your browser. You should see the same data as in the first database"'!'
Congratulations, you are now running two Couchdb containers, completely
isolated from each other *except* for their data.
