# 1.5. Installation via Docker

Apache CouchDB provides ‘convenience binary’ Docker images through Docker Hub at `apache/couchdb`. This is our upstream release; it is usually mirrored downstream at Docker’s top-level `couchdb` as well.

At least these tags are always available on the image:

- `latest` - always the latest
- `3`: always the latest 3.x version
- `2`: always the latest 2.x version
- `1`, `1.7`, `1.7.2`: CouchDB 1.7.2 (convenience only; no longer supported)
- `1-couchperuser`, `1.7-couchperuser`, `1.7.2-couchperuser`: CouchDB 1.7.2 with couchperuser plugin (convenience only; no longer supported)

These images expose CouchDB on port `5984` of the container, run everything as user `couchdb` (uid `5984`), and support use of a Docker volume for data at `/opt/couchdb/data`.

Your installation is not complete. Be sure to complete the Setup steps for a single node or clustered installation.

Further details on the Docker configuration are available in our couchdb-docker git repository.
