Accessing CouchDB

How to access Budibase's underlying database, CouchDB

This 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
