A Docker Compose file to self-host a CouchDB instance for Obsidian Livesync

docker-compose.yml

services:
  couchdb:
    image: couchdb:latest
    container_name: obsidian-livesync
    # user: 1000:1000 # You may need to adjust this depending on your host system's user/group IDs for file permissions
    environment:
      - COUCHDB_USER=${COUCHDB_USER}
      - COUCHDB_PASSWORD=${COUCHDB_PASSWORD}
    volumes:
      - /docker/volumes/obsidian-livesync/data:/opt/couchdb/data
      - ./local.ini:/opt/couchdb/etc/local.ini # Ensure this file exists in the same directory as this docker-compose.yml
    ports:
      - "8091:5984"
    restart: unless-stopped

# Note: You will need to create a 'local.ini' file in the same directory as this docker-compose.yml.
# A basic 'local.ini' could look like this (adjust as needed):
#
# [couchdb]
# uuid = your_unique_uuid_here_generate_one
#
# [chttpd]
# bind_address = 0.0.0.0
# port = 5984
#
# [chttpd_auth]
# require_valid_user = true
# admin_users = username # Use the same username as COUCHDB_USER
#
# You can generate a UUID using 'uuidgen' command in linux or an online generator.
# For more details on local.ini, refer to CouchDB documentation.
