From what I see in this logfile there’s a hint that CouchDB was not set up properly and you are trying over a failed install. The _users DB is missing. To do a fresh install follow these steps.

  1. Prune your system (assuming you only have the CHT docker images )
    docker system prune -a --volumes

  2. Get the latest docker-compose file here.

  3. In your shell as root Export the CouchDB password. export DOCKER_COUCHDB_ADMIN_PASSWORD=myAwesomePassword

  4. In the same shell install the medic-os and ha-proxy containers in detached mode.
    # docker-compose -f /path/to/docker-compose.yml up -d
