CouchDB pods not being created

[myypo]

What happened?

Have trouble setting up a fabric network with peers using couchdb. When I set kubectl hlf peer create argument --statedb=couchdb or manually apply custom FabricPeer CRDs where I change stateDb and set externalCouchDB to null it only creates peer nodes.

Is it how it is supposed to work and I just have to create these instances myself? In the operator's source code I've found secret, service and deployment templates for CouchDB so I am assuming that the behaviour is incorrect. No errors were risen.

What did you expect to happen?

Couchdb pods to be created alongside fabric peer pods.

How can we reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?

Running

kubectl hlf peer create --statedb=couchdb --image=$PEER_IMAGE --version=$PEER_VERSION --storage-class=standard --enroll-id=peer --mspid=Org1MSP \
	--enroll-pw=peerpw --capacity=5Gi --name=org1-peer0 --ca-name=org1-ca.default \
	--hosts=peer0-org1.localho.st --istio-port=443

or

kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
