Clemens - You seem to be focusing, with your previous postings about an official Docker image and now about a Digital Ocean image, on making CouchDB as fast and easy to run up as possible. Other products have this and I see easy setup/one-click installs, etc. etc. as critical to getting people to try things. Developers these days don't want to spend time installing and configuring software, so Docker, DO images, etc. are absolutely the way to go!
Therefore, I see your effort here as most welcome and definitely not wasted. I don't know anyone at DO, but I do know folks that use their service and love it. Thanks for your interest and effort in this area.
