I'm trying to set Couchbase and sync_gateway in docker containers, but I get some weird auth errors when sync_gateway tries to connect the database.

Couchbase is running ok on its container, and when I set the sync_gateway to use a GUEST user it's able to connect to couchbase. The problem is, I really want to use the username/password I create then I setup the couchbase container.

I know the couchbase is working because I can access it from the web interface on localhost:8091 and login with the username/password I created. But sync_gateway raises the errors I posted bellow when trying to access with the username/password from the configuration file.

Dockerfile

FROM couchbase/server
ENTRYPOINT ["/code/scripts/entrypoint.sh", "couchbase-server"]

This is the entrypoint.sh

#!/bin/bash

cb_cli() {
    ${CB_CLI} ${@} ${CREDENTIALS}
}

server_configured() {
    server_list=$(cb_cli server-list)
    return $([[ $? == 0 ]] && [[ $(echo ${server_list} | wc -l) != 0 ]])
}

setup_couchbase_server() {
   cb_cli cluster-init --cluster-ramsize=${RAM_SIZE} --cluster-username=admin --cluster-password=admin123
   cb_cli bucket-create --bucket-ramsize=${RAM_SIZE} --bucket=${BUCKET_NAME}
}

couchbase_config() {
    curl ${SERVER_ADDR} >&- 2>&-
    while [[ $? != 23 ]]; do
        sleep 3
        curl ${SERVER_ADDR}>&- 2>&-
    done

    ! server_configured && {
        echo "Setting up couchbase server..."
        setup_couchbase_server && echo "Setup complete"
    }
}

[[ "$1" == "couchbase-server" ]] && {
    /usr/sbin/runsvdir-start &
    couchbase_config
    echo "Starting Couchbase Server -- Web UI available at http://${SERVER_ADDR} and logs available in /opt/couchbase/var/lib/couchbase/logs"
    /usr/sbin/runsvdir-start
}

docker-compose.yml

version: '3'
services:
  couchbase_server:
    build: .
    ports:
      - "8091-8094:8091-8094"
      - "11210:11210"
    volumes:
      - .:/code
    environment:
      - CB_CLI=opt/couchbase/bin/couchbase-cli
      - SERVER_ADDR=localhost:8091
      - CREDENTIALS=-u admin -p admin123 -c localhost:8091
      - RAM_SIZE=1024
      - BUCKET_NAME=sync_gateway
  sync_gateway:

    links:

    depends_on:

    volumes:
      - ./sync_gateway_config.json:/code
    command: /code
    ports:
      - 4984:4984
      - 4985:4985

sync_gateway_config.json

{
    "log": ["REST"],
    "interface": ":4984",
    "databases": {
        "sync_gateway": {
            "server": "http://db:8091",
            "username": "admin",
            "password": "admin123"
        }
    }
}

And finally, this is the error I get when I run docker-compose up:

    I included the entrypoint code. I know this part works because I can access the couchbase web interface at localhost:8091 and login with the configured username and password.

  • You have defined a Dockerfile, but what command did you use to build the image? What command have you issue when you ran docker-compose?

  • I did docker-compose build && docker-compose up.

This was tricky, but it turned out that the username and password in the config file referred to the bucket instead of to the couchbase server. The answer was to include a password when creating a bucket. My setup_couchbase_server in file entrypoint.sh looks like this now:

setup_couchbase_server() {
   cb_cli cluster-init --cluster-ramsize=${CB_RAM_SIZE}
   cb_cli bucket-create --bucket-ramsize=${CB_RAM_SIZE} --bucket=${CB_SYNC_GATEWAY_BUCKET} --bucket-password=bucket_pass
}

Then the username has to be the same as the bucket name. Now it works.

  • Where should this be run? In the Dockerfile?

  • No, in the entrypoint, when the bucket is created.
