Couchbase, a software company rather than a hosting provider, can be hosted through various services like AWS, Azure, and Joyent. The text details the process of hosting Couchbase Server on Joyent's Triton platform using Docker, emphasizing the benefits of Joyent's container-native infrastructure, which offers enhanced performance due to bare-metal deployment, individual IP addresses for containers, and the ability to resize containers without downtime. The guide outlines the requirements for setting up a Couchbase Server cluster on Triton, including Docker, a Joyent account, and an SSH private key. It describes the steps for running Couchbase containers locally to familiarize users with the setup before connecting to Joyent's cloud service, downloading necessary scripts, and configuring the Docker client to use Joyent. The process includes creating, configuring, and clustering Couchbase nodes on Triton, with instructions on how to manage the lifecycle of these containers, including adding and removing nodes from the cluster. Joyent's Triton service is highlighted for its performance and security benefits, with a mention of a promotional discount for Couchbase users, although security details are noted as a potential topic for a future post.
