Set up preconfigured couchbase cluster using docker-compose

Couchbase Server
1

I have a couchbase docker image “chakrar27/couchbase” which sets up query,index,fts service and add a new data bucket. This image runs fine. Now I wanted to set up a cluster of couchbase servers (3 of them). When I try to run “docker-compose up” the REST api-s responsible for talking to couchbase API-s give me the following error -

$ docker-compose up

My docker-compose.yml is as follows:

couchbase1:
image: chakrar27/couchbase
volumes:
- ~/couchbase/node1:/opt/couchbase/var
couchbase2:
image: chakrar27/couchbase

- 8092:8092
- 8093:8093

Am I missing something? Thx in advance.

Hi Couchbase experts,

Can anyone reply to my question? Thanks.

@chakrar27 You seem to be only starting three separate Couchbase servers. In order to create a cluster, your image needs to have Couchbase CLI commands that will do so.

Docker Service and Swarm Mode to Create Couchbase Cluster - The Couchbase Blog should help for that.

Thanks. I got it. However I have the below issues -

I am running docker with docker machine on my windows 7 laptop; so I don’t have docker running natively. My docker version gives

$ docker version
Client version: 1.7.1
Client API version: 1.19
Go version (client): go1.4.2
Git commit (client): 786b29d
OS/Arch (client): windows/amd64
Server version: swarm/1.2.5
Server API version: 1.22
Go version (server): go1.5.4
Git commit (server): 27968ed
OS/Arch (server): linux/amd64

How do I make docker swarm commands work wit my current set up? I tried instructions in this link https://docs.docker.com/swarm/install-w-machine/ to install swarm with docker machine. However docker swarm isn’t working. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Instructions in the blog will only work for Docker 1.12 onwards only. Your client version is 1.7.1 and that’s pretty old. Can you update to the latest version?

Would recommend using Docker for Mac anyway.

Thanks! I was able to set up the cluster after upgrading to docker 1.12.

I have a new issue now. How can I bring down the swarm cluster and remove the containers? I tried docker rm and docker rmi of the swarm images, but it’s assigning new imageid everytime i delete an existing one. I cannot run any other couchbase containers because the of the port conflict. I need to remove the swarm cluster and the images. Please help. Thanks.

I found the command I was looking for. I stopped the service by docker service rm and it removed all the attached swarm containers.
