If you are running BYFN (Build Your First Network) with the CouchDB option, the Peer and CouchDB Container Dependency is defined in the "docker-compose-couch.yaml" file.

$ cd ~/hyperledger-binaries/fabric-samples/first-network

$ more docker-compose-couch.yaml

services:
  couchdb0:
    container_name: couchdb0
    image: hyperledger/fabric-couchdb
    environment:
      - COUCHDB_USER=
      - COUCHDB_PASSWORD=
    ports:
      - "5984:5984"
    networks:
      - byfn

  peer0.org1.example.com:
    environment:
      - CORE_LEDGER_STATE_STATEDATABASE=CouchDB
      - CORE_LEDGER_STATE_COUCHDBCONFIG_COUCHDBADDRESS=couchdb0:5984
      - CORE_LEDGER_STATE_COUCHDBCONFIG_USERNAME=
      - CORE_LEDGER_STATE_COUCHDBCONFIG_PASSWORD=
    depends_on:
      - couchdb0

  ...

  couchdb3:
    container_name: couchdb3
    image: hyperledger/fabric-couchdb
    environment:
      - COUCHDB_USER=
      - COUCHDB_PASSWORD=
    ports:
      - "8984:5984"
    networks:
      - byfn

  peer1.org2.example.com:
    environment:
      - CORE_LEDGER_STATE_STATEDATABASE=CouchDB
      - CORE_LEDGER_STATE_COUCHDBCONFIG_COUCHDBADDRESS=couchdb3:5984
      - CORE_LEDGER_STATE_COUCHDBCONFIG_USERNAME=
      - CORE_LEDGER_STATE_COUCHDBCONFIG_PASSWORD=
    depends_on:
      - couchdb3  

As you can see, the Peer and CouchDB dependency is defined as:

peer0.org1.example.com -> couchdb0
peer1.org1.example.com -> couchdb1
peer0.org2.example.com -> couchdb2
peer1.org2.example.com -> couchdb3

By the way, there is no user names and passwords defined to protect CouchDB servers. This is ok for a developer environment.
