Hi, I have written a database plugin for Couchbase DB. It supports credential rotation and dynamic and static roles. Would anyone in the Vault engineering team be interested in taking a look at it to see what could be improved? Regards, Francis. ---

Hi @fhitchen, Yes, please open a PR and we’ll have a look. Best, Nick ---

Hi, I am having problems getting my PR past circleci compilation. I need a couchbase package which normally you pull with go get [github.com/couchbase/gocb/v2](http://github.com/couchbase/gocb/v2) Any pointers how to add this to the build? I added the module to the toplevel go.mod but to no avail. regards, Francis. ---

What happens when you run the `go get` command you listed? That should be the correct way to update go.mod and go.sum. ---

Works fine, but how do I add that to the circleci build scripts… I see this in the go.mod I checked in. ``` github.com/couchbase/gocb/v2 v2.1.1 // indirect ``` ---

Why would the circleci build config need to be updated? I should’ve mentioned that you need to `go mod vendor` for the CI to build, maybe that’s what you’re seeing? ---

Thanks that tip helped. I managed to get the go mod vendor command to add the couchbase client code to the vendor path and the build succeeded. Now I guess I have to figure out how to spin up a couchbase DB container, initialize it and get it ready to accept the tests I have defined. I hope it won’t be beyond me. I have a test db image already that contains test accounts and data buckets to grant access to, [docker.io/fhitchen/vault-couchbase](http://docker.io/fhitchen/vault-couchbase), no reason why I can’t pull that is there? ---

Here’s what we’re doing to test the physical storage backend currently: [https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/blob/master/physical/couchdb/couchdb\_test.go#L57](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/blob/master/physical/couchdb/couchdb_test.go#L57) Ideally they would share the same code, i.e. move prepareCouchdbDBTestContainer from that package to a new package helper/testhelpers/couchdb and make it public. Similar to what we do with ldap, consul, mysql, etc. You can see an example of what that might look like in my PR here: [https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/8948/files](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/8948/files) We’d prefer to use standard upstream images where possible, rather than someone’s personal image that might not be updated as often. ---

I have modified what was done for cassandra, couchbase requires many more ports to be mapped for plain text and TLS communications though. I am still using a custom docker image as the out of the box one from couchbase requires configuration steps to create an administrator account as well as selecting a subset of the services (most are not needed and will just waste resources) and a test data bucket to test creating accounts that can access that bucket. I will see if there is a way to package all of that and automate creation of the test couchbase db. Don’t really want to waste more time doing a docker build though? ---
