How to connect CouchDB to Flask running in App Platform

Posted on April 11, 2021

I’m looking for the preferred way to run one CouchDB as the storage for a number of separate Flask / App Platform servers.

I’ve not installed CouchDB yet.

I’m new at this so any tutorials would be very welcome.

Heya,

Just came across this answer and decided to write some general guidelines for anyone who comes across this in the future despite the old question.

To integrate CouchDB with your Flask applications on the App Platform, you could follow the subsequent steps:

  1. Install and configure CouchDB on a DigitalOcean Droplet

  2. Connect your Flask Applications to this CouchDB instance.

These are simplified steps, and each of them may vary based on your specific needs.

Make sure to configure your connection strings and authentication methods appropriately in order to securely connect your Flask application to your CouchDB instance.

Hope that this helps!
