@hunterlester Interestingly, this might be an issue with CouchDB (i.e. the Dockerfile/some related Swarm setup) itself?
Instead of continuing down this path, you might actually be better off switching to MongoDB. (See this post for an example of others using Mongo instead of Couch.)
Should I be seeing a container on that network called something like
lamp_database.1.xxxxxxxxxxx?
That’s correct – if it’s not appearing, that means it’s not connected to the network or failed to initialize correctly.
