Accessing CouchDB

📘

The following content applies to self-hosted deployments only

Budibase uses CouchDB to store:

• Metadata about your apps and deployment
• Data stored when using Budibase's in-built tables
• Audit logs

You have full access to CouchDb, via Fauxton - the official CouchDB client. You may access Fauxton via the URL:

your-budibase-host/db/_utils/#

However, you will need a username and password to log in. You may find these in your .env file, which lives in the same directory as your docker-compose.yaml.

Use the following values from your .env file:

• COUCH_DB_USER
• COUCH_DB_PASSWORD
