Julien Calixte cff802bd3f fix: drop curl healthcheck and cors.ini mount; configure CORS via API

The couchdb:3 image purges curl after the build, so the curl-based
healthcheck could never succeed. The cors.ini bind-mount also looks
like the cause of the ~600ms container exit observed in the first two
Coolify deploys. Both pieces are removed; CORS is now applied by the
init sidecar via PUTs against /_node/_local/_config/..., which is
idempotent on redeploy.

CouchDB 3 on Coolify. The couchdb-init sidecar waits for the server to come up, creates the three system databases, and enables CORS via the config API — no file mounts required.

Deploy

In Coolify: New Resource → Docker Compose and point it at this repository.
In the resource's Environment Variables tab, set:
- COUCHDB_PASSWORD — required
- COUCHDB_USER — optional, defaults to admin
In the resource's Domains tab, assign a domain to the couchdb service on port 5984. Coolify fills SERVICE_FQDN_COUCHDB_5984 from this.
Deploy. couchdb-init runs once, exits, and won't restart.

Verify

Replace $DOMAIN and $PASS:

curl -fsS https://$DOMAIN/_up
curl -fsS -u admin:$PASS https://$DOMAIN/
curl -fsS -u admin:$PASS https://$DOMAIN/_all_dbs
curl -fsS -I -X OPTIONS https://$DOMAIN/ \
  -H "Origin: https://example.com" \
  -H "Access-Control-Request-Method: GET"

Expected: _up returns {"status":"ok",...}; / returns the CouchDB welcome JSON; _all_dbs returns ["_global_changes","_replicator","_users"]; the preflight returns 2xx with an Access-Control-Allow-Origin header.

If the init logs show CORS errors, you can re-trigger only that step by redeploying — the PUTs against /_node/_local/_config/... are idempotent.

CORS

Wildcard origin (*) with credentials = false — the only browser-spec-legal combination with a wildcard. For credentialed auth from the browser, edit the put_config cors origins/credentials lines in docker-compose.yml.
