Apache CouchDB 3.5 on Ubuntu
Azure
Databases
Apache CouchDB 3.5 on Ubuntu, a document database that syncs and speaks HTTP.
Overview
Apache CouchDB is a document database that stores data as JSON and is accessed entirely over an HTTP API, with a replication model built for syncing data between servers and even to offline clients. That design suits applications that need data to move reliably between locations or devices.
This image provides a running CouchDB 3.5 on Ubuntu ready to accept documents and replicate.
Why the cloudimg image
The cloudimg image installs CouchDB on a hardened Ubuntu base with the administrator account secured by a password generated uniquely for your instance on first boot and stored in a root only file, rather than running in an open setup. The deployment guide covers the built in Fauxton console, creating databases and enabling HTTPS. Every deployment carries 24/7 support.
Common uses
- A document store accessed over a simple HTTP API
- Applications that replicate data between servers or to devices
- Offline first apps that sync back when a connection returns
