   Let me express my shock at your analysis of this in light of insufficient data.
   
   As for the CoC mention, I’m not issuing a formal notice yet, but keep the aggressive undertone out of this please. If you don’t get what I mean, let someone who you trust read over what you wrote and see if they can find what we see. I’m not suggesting your feelings aren’t warranted here, but you express them in a way we usually don’t conduct communication in this project. We appreciate your cooperation. In general: if you expect support from someone, best not antagonise them up front, however warranted. We are all doing this in our spare time and getting on our nerves is the easiest way to get ignored here ;) — As for quickly closing issues: it’s just how we do things here to make sure we give everyone the same amount of attention. If you can’t live with your issues being closed while we wait for more info, I can’t help you.
   
   For the technical stuff.
   
   Above anything we don’t recommend running CouchDB in Docker for reasons that have nothing to do with CouchDB and everything to do with the Docker ecosystem not being mature enough to handle low latency network and io-bound applications to a degree that would make us comfortable. That said, there are happy Docker CouchDB users, and I don’t want to discourage them being successful with their configurations.

   CouchDB startup succeeds just fine, otherwise you wouldn’t get to the error messages you are seeing.
   
   > There were no docs to assist me
   
   This point is well taken. CouchDB is designed to run on beefy servers and CouchDB 2.x especially so. That doesn’t mean it can also run on low-spec hardware, but the defaults are not set that way (unless you follow one of the documented setup paths, which you aren't). What’s lacking are docs on configuring CouchDB 2 for low-spec hardware. I’m sorry that’s the case, and once you work through all this, we gladly accept a PR to the docs.
   
   (FWIW: replying to this issue was eating about all the time I can spend on CouchDB for a couple of days, so don’t expect rapid follow-ups here).
