Summary

This summary provides an overview of deploying a Golang web application alongside Couchbase Server as Docker containers, leveraging environment variables to define connection information at container runtime. The process involves creating a Dockerfile for the Golang image and another for the custom Couchbase Server image, which includes a configuration script to set up the database. The images are then built and deployed using various commands, including manual deployment with environment variables, deployment with Docker Compose, and continuous deployment using Jenkins. This tutorial aims to demonstrate how to create a microservice that can be easily distributed by turning an application into a Docker image.
