Description

There have been a series of issues raised on apache/couchdb (see apache/couchdb#1341 and linked issues for instance) on how to run CouchDB 2.x on low-spec hardware, such as single-core Docker instances, or on a Raspberry Pi 1.

The current default settings for CouchDB don't make it easy to do this.

Documenting some of the approaches to simplify this configuration would be best.

Research direction

Start with apache/couchdb#1341 and its linked issues, then review the current CouchDB 2.x default settings for single-core Docker instances and Raspberry Pi 1. Done means documenting concrete configuration approaches that make low-spec deployments easier to run.
