I have deployed a 4 node Couchbase cluster using Docker images on the Google Container Engine with Kubernetes. I was able to access the Couchbase Console, look at the buckets, query etc. Now, after a couple of days, I go the Console URL and the Couchbase initial setup screen comes up! As though this is a fresh install. I can see that the nodes and pods are all still up and running. Had a similar problem on my Windows box with Docker cluster (No Kubernetes). I redeployed that again. Anyone else experienced this?

The containers never restarted? – Robert Moskal Apr 08 '17 at 12:02

No, they did not restart. I destroyed those instances and recreated them again. – Prasad Apr 09 '17 at 04:01

When you destroy and recreate container instances all the underlying state is lost.
If you want to preserve the state of your couchbase installation you'll need to use a docker data volume. Just create one and mount your couchbase data file directory.
On gcp, you'll additionally want to map a directory on the data volume to a persistent disk.
