Running the MongoDB server

Run the following command to start MongoDB:

    docker run -d -p 27017:27017 -p 28017:28017 ursuad/docker-mongodb

The first time that you run your container, a new random password will be set. To get the password, check the logs of the container by running:

    docker logs <CONTAINER_ID>

You will see an output like the following:

    ========================================================================
    You can now connect to this MongoDB server using:

        mongo admin -u admin -p 5elsT6KtjrqV --host <host> --port <port>

    Please remember to change the above password as soon as possible!
    ========================================================================

In this case, 5elsT6KtjrqV is the password set. You can then connect to MongoDB:

     mongo admin -u admin -p 5elsT6KtjrqV

Done!

Setting a specific password for the admin account

If you want to use a preset password instead of a randomly generated one, you can set the environment variable MONGODB_PASS to your specific password when running the container:

    docker run -d -p 27017:27017 -p 28017:28017 -e MONGODB_PASS="mypass" ursuad/docker-mongodb

You can now test your new admin password:

    mongo admin -u admin -p mypass
    curl --user admin:mypass --digest http://localhost:28017/

Run MongoDB without password

If you want to run MongoDB without password you can set the environment variable AUTH to specific if you want password or not when running the container:

    docker run -d -p 27017:27017 -p 28017:28017 -e AUTH=no ursuad/docker-mongodb

By default is "yes".
