- Default credentials:
root/<YourStrongPassw0rd>
Start services locally using Docker Compose:
$ docker-compose up
You can also run all services in the background (detached mode) by adding the -d flag to the above command.
- Default Connection available at http://localhost:27017
- Default credentials:
root/<YourStrongPassw0rd>
# connect to docker container
$ docker exec -it mongo_dev bash
# connect to mongodb
$ mongo admin -u root -p "<YourStrongPassw0rd>"
Sample commands to play with:
# Show databases:
$ show dbs
# Create new non-existant database:
$ use mydatabase
# Show collections:
$ show collections
# Show contents/documents of a collection:
$ db.your_collection_name.find()
# Save a data to a collection:
$ db.your_collection_name.save({"name":"Sony AK"})

$ db.version()
Data is peristed inside a volume by default.
To shutdown the stack without removing all persisted data, use the following Docker Compose command:
$ docker-compose down
In order to entirely shutdown the stack and remove all persisted data, you can add the -v flag to the above command:
$ docker-compose down -v
