couchdb pod is crashing with any relevant clue

@veduboy the chart https://cloud.ibm.com/kubernetes/helm/ibm-charts/couchdb is not maintained by the CouchDB community. You'll need to raise this with IBM instead.

The CouchDB community helm chart should work on IBM IKS and is available at https://hub.helm.sh/charts/couchdb/couchdb.

I have tried https://hub.helm.sh/charts/couchdb/couchdb chart as well get the same result.

@veduboy can you attach the logs from the couchdb container and the output of kubectl describe, scrubbing any passwords?

I have just run into the same issue. This is from the logs of the pod and might help somebody else:

---

ERROR: CouchDB 3.0+ will no longer run in "Admin Party"
mode. You MUST specify an admin user and
password, either via your own .ini file mapped
into the container at /opt/couchdb/etc/local.ini
or inside /opt/couchdb/etc/local.d, or with
"-e COUCHDB_USER=admin -e COUCHDB_PASSWORD=password"
to set it via "docker run".
