you installed Airbyte with abctl and you run Couchbase on localhost:8091?
Couchbase is running as a Docker container or on host machine?
is there a way i can run airbyte locally without using docker ?
I don’t know. I haven’t seen anybody trying.
Is it possible to run Couchbase as a Docker container?
you could connect Couchbase to the same network, so they could communicate with Airbyte
docker network connect kind <couchbase container name>
we also have capella which is couchbase on the cloud. will try there as well
Another option that comes to my mind is to use https://ngrok.com
ngrok http 8091
exposing local couchbase to internet 
probably you could use your IP address in local network, but couchbase should bind to 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost
Thanks <@U05JENRCF7C> for providing a mutitude of these options. Am definitely going to try each one out. Quick question,
what command does Airtbyte BasicHttpAuthenticator run under the hood. it doesnt base 64 encode it right ?
yeah, this one looks like its base 64 encoding the username:password
Should be possible. a little complex but will try
