Hello! Are you referring to couchdb right?
The easiest way is to just run the container as stated the docs:
docker run -p 5984:5984 -d couchdb:2.3.1
then you can access it via the web: http://localhost:5984/_utils/
I always run it like that. I don’t have a docker compose, but creating it should be quite easy, found this online, maybe you can use it as a guide?
Also note that there is a new version 3 that requires to set up a user and password before running the container
*************************************************************
ERROR: CouchDB 3.0+ will no longer run in "Admin Party"
mode. You *MUST* specify an admin user and
password, either via your own .ini file mapped
into the container at /opt/couchdb/etc/local.ini
or inside /opt/couchdb/etc/local.d, or with
"-e COUCHDB_USER=admin -e COUCHDB_PASSWORD=password"
to set it via "docker run".

hope it helps!
