Hey thanks for this and your article on CouchDB clusters!

I found a slight bug with this script where if you provide a password with an @ character is confuses curl, but if you use curl -X PUT --user $user:$password http://$firstIp:$localPort/_nodes/couchdb@$ip -d {} it fixes the issue.

This article helped me a lot!
One more question:
Do we have any tutorial about adding another CouchDB container in the docker, mounting on another volume, and then adding it into the cluster created above?
