MongoDB with Docker and Docker Compose
On folder that contains docker-compose.yml type one of this.
// non detach mode
docker-compose up
or
// detach mode
docker-compose up -d
It will spin the MongoDB latest version (currently 4.x.x version), expose port to host at 27017.
To shutdown database without remove the container.
docker-compose stop
To shutdown database and remove the container.
docker-compose down
Is data or user that already created will gone? No, since in the Docker Compose file you can see that we utilize data container named mongodb_data_container to store the MongoDB data.
- Username: root
- Password: rootpassword
Type this.
mongo admin -u root -p rootpassword
It will connect to localhost port 27017.
Note that mongo command should be installed on the computer. On Linux this should be install mongodb-org-shell only. Refer to this for more detail https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/installation/
