Mary Anthony 29d01b7dde Removing sudo from command line examples
We now advise people to configure docker group and
add to sudo.  Mac shouldn't use sudo.  Removed sudo
from command examples.  Left in installation to be removed
in installation doc sweep -- removing requires finer
grain control.

# Dockerizing a CouchDB Service
> **Note**:

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.
$ COUCH1=$(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.
$ HOST=localhost
$ URL="http://$HOST:$(docker port $COUCH1 5984 | grep -o '[1-9][0-9]*$')/_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.
$ COUCH2=$(docker run -d -p 5984 --volumes-from $COUCH1 shykes/couchdb:2013-05-03)
## Browse data on the second database
$ HOST=localhost
$ URL="http://$HOST:$(docker port $COUCH2 5984 | grep -o '[1-9][0-9]*$')/_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.
