How to start a mongodb shell in docker container?


You can run the interactive mongo shell by running the following command:

docker run -it -p 28000:27017 --name mongoContainer mongo:latest mongo

Otherwise, if your container is already running, you can use the exec command:

docker exec -it mongoContainer mongo


The thing that I struggled too but found a solution:

docker pull mongodocker run --name CONTAINERNAME --restart=always -d -p 8080:8080 mongo mongod --authsudo docker exec -i -t CONTAINERNAME bashmongouse admindb.createUser({user:"user", pwd:"password", roles:[{role:"root", db:"admin"}]})exit && exit

Now you have created a running Docker container with everything you need. Now if you want to connect from any client with an admin user, just run this

mongo -u "user" -p "password" HOSTIP --authenticationDatabase "admin"


This is an alternate way: Open a new terminal

mongo 127.0.0.1:28000

Your mongo shell starts in this terminal now.
