   @garrensmith Thank you for the pointer, I opted to upgrade the prepackaged Fauxton within the image instead of running a separate Fauxton container. 
   
   I managed to do so by commenting out the purging of build deps & node_modules folder, and added `git` in `apt-get install` for `npm install -g fauxton` to work. Then I proceeded to replace the prepackaged Fauxton by doing
   
   ```
   rm -rf /opt/couchdb/share/www
   cp -Rp /usr/lib/node_modules/fauxton/dist/release /opt/couchdb/share/www
   ```
   
   This way, I can still access Fauxton using the original `/_utils` path without further configuration. The drawbacks is the image is much larger compared to the original because the build deps are kept around to allow upgrading of Fauxton when needed.
