can't install in a docker contaienr

Start with Dockerfile.couchdb and reproduce the Ubuntu 20.04 installation using the documented debconf selections and apt-get command. Then inspect the debian packaging directory referenced in the issue, focusing on the couchdb post-installation step that exits with status 30. Done means the package configures successfully in the container.

I could use some help doing a stand alone install in a docker container.

I'm trying to make a docker container based on Ubuntu 20.04 which includes couchdb.

I'm trying to follow these:

• https://github.com/apache/couchdb-pkg/tree/main/debian
• https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/install/unix.html#installation-using-the-apache-couchdb-convenience-binary-packages

I get into the container to do the install because re-building it was taking a while every time I tried to tweak something, so for now I'm manually follow this in the container: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-pkg/tree/main/debian

echo "couchdb couchdb/mode select standalone
couchdb couchdb/mode seen true
couchdb couchdb/bindaddress string 127.0.0.1
couchdb couchdb/bindaddress seen true
couchdb couchdb/adminpass password password
couchdb couchdb/adminpass seen true
couchdb couchdb/adminpass_again password password
couchdb couchdb/adminpass_again seen true" | debconf-set-selections

which I verify:

root@container:/# debconf-show couchdb
* couchdb/adminpass_again: (password omitted)
* couchdb/adminpass: (password omitted)
* couchdb/mode: standalone
* couchdb/bindaddress: 127.0.0.1

and then

apt-get update
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y --force-yes couchdb

which results in this:

root@container:/# DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y --force-yes couchdb

Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

docker build -f Dockerfile.couchdb --no-cache -t test/couchdb .

docker run -it --init --rm --net=host test/couchdb

inside the running container

echo "couchdb couchdb/mode select standalone
couchdb couchdb/mode seen true
couchdb couchdb/bindaddress string 127.0.0.1
couchdb couchdb/bindaddress seen true
couchdb couchdb/adminpass password password
couchdb couchdb/adminpass seen true
couchdb couchdb/adminpass_again password password
couchdb couchdb/adminpass_again seen true" | debconf-set-selections

root@container:/# debconf-show couchdb
* couchdb/adminpass_again: (password omitted)
* couchdb/adminpass: (password omitted)
* couchdb/mode: standalone
* couchdb/bindaddress: 127.0.0.1

apt-get update
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y --force-yes couchdb
