Apache CouchDB preinstalled for AWS. CouchDB 3 with the Fauxton web interface on Ubuntu 24.04, with a per instance admin password generated on first boot. Backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
## Apache CouchDB by cloudimg
Apache CouchDB is the open source document database that stores data as JSON documents and exposes a friendly HTTP interface. This Amazon Machine Image delivers CouchDB fully installed and configured, so a working document database is running within minutes of launch. The release available is CouchDB 3.
## Application Stack
The image runs CouchDB 3 in single node mode, installed from the official Apache CouchDB repository, with the Fauxton web administration interface served on port 5984. Database data is stored on a dedicated resizable volume and the service starts on boot.
## Secure First Boot
On the first boot of every instance a one shot service generates a fresh server administrator password, unique to that instance, and writes it to a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image, and the database never runs in the open admin party mode.
## Ready To Use
The CouchDB service and data directory are configured and the database starts on boot. Browse to the Fauxton interface, sign in with the generated administrator credentials, and start creating databases and documents.
