connecting to Mongodb inside a docker with mongodb compass GUI

database mongodb docker localhost

docker run -p 27018:27017 and then connect from Compass on your host with port 27018. I don't see a reason to expose all ports.

database mongodb docker localhost

With docker-compose you just have to expose the port 27017. When You hit "Connect" in the GUI it will auto-detect this connection.

version: "3"services:  mongo-database:    container_name: mongo-database    image: mongo:4    ports:      - 27017:27017

database mongodb docker localhost

Yes we can run

Steps:

Pull/Restart the docker container mongodb
Enter the bash shell
```
docker exec -it mongodb bash
```
Now open the mongodb compass community and with same default connection just click connect and the docker container's mongodb will be connected to compass community.

My terminal running docker:

Mongodb Compass:
