CouchDB will not pass CouchDB environment variables with Docker Budibase image

[frehrarri]

I'm trying to run a premade Budibase image on Docker Compose. They use CouchDB as one of their services, but I keep getting an issue with it not passing environment variables. I've tried speaking with Budibase on this but they weren't able to replicate or solve the issue.

docker ps - here i've already created my containers

Expected Behaviour

What should happen is that I should be able to go to http://localhost:10000 and use the budibase app that would be hosted in the container at that url.

Things I've tried:

1. restarting couch-init after couchDB service starts up with docker-compose --env-file .env restart couch-init
2. check ports before starting containers with iptables -I dockeruser -p tcp -m tcp --dport 5984 -j ACCEPT

Hi,

I would say that this problem is not related to CouchDB. So maybe you should talk again to the people of Budibase.
Move this issue to discussions.
