two couchdb docker containers writing to the same mount?

[Dan Santner <da...@me.com>]

I think this is just not the way couch was meant to be used but….

I setup two docker containers which shared the couchdb database directory and ran them simultaneously.

Mostly it worked like a cluster….but there were plenty of strange errors.  I assume couch isn’t meant to run this way.  I assume each instance of couch wants to own those files?

It's definitely not supposed to run this way. You'll certainly corrupt your databases if you allow two couchdb instances to write to the same files.
