To run the following command mongo client has to be installed on your computer.
#DOCKER INSTALL MONGO DOWNLOAD#
Run the following command to download and run the docker container of MongoDB: docker-compose up -dĬheck Volumes: docker volume ls Use mongo shell with username and password:
#DOCKER INSTALL MONGO PASSWORD#
Change the username and password if you want. Here username is root and password is also password. To follow this tutorial docker and docker-compose has to be installed on your computer.Ĭreate a docker-compose.yml file and paste the following codes.
#DOCKER INSTALL MONGO HOW TO#
I certainly will be re-visiting this myself once I inevitably end up forgetting how to do this stuff.In this lesson, I will show how to install MongoDB using Docker compose with the root user and password. That's it! While not as straight-forward as with some other database solutions, it's not too difficult fortunately. Now you can delete these files by running something like rm -rf /dump. If you'd like to delete the dump files from either docker container after importing, you can open a shell session within the docker container like so: ❯ docker exec -it /bin/bash You can leave this off if you have a different folder structure. That's why in the above example the path points to /dump/. ❯ docker exec -i /usr/bin/mongorestore -username -password -authenticationDatabase admin -db /dump/ Note: When mongodump creates a databasae dump, all files are placed in a sub-directory named after the database. Now that the dump files are available within the container, run the following command to have everything be imported. ❯ docker cp ~/Downloads/dump :/dump Restore Just like before, we should first make the dumped database files available within the docker container. Slightly confusing, but that seems to be the Mongo way. As you specify user roles that specify which database(s) the user has actual access to, even though the user might exist in the admin database, it doesn't actually have any permissions to do anything there, so it seems to not be that big of a deal. There are ways to change this behavior, but that is outside the scope of this guide. One part that seems somewhat confusing and that threw me off previously is that by default when you try to connect to a MongoDB server it expects that admin is the database in which the user exists – even if said user has no access permissions for this database.

A prompt will appear after running this command in which you can specify the user's password. You can run the following in your mongodb (cli) client of choice to create a new user. If you don't have one already, let's go ahead and create one now. Ensure a user is created firstīefore we continue, we should make sure we have a database user account ready with read and write access to the database you want to restore into. Whether this is a fresh and new container or you're restoring a backup, the process is the same. Now that we have the database dump files ready, let's go ahead and import (or, restore) them. Now we can basically do the exact opposite in our new container.

Let's copy the files out of the container: ❯ docker cp :/dump ~/Downloads/dump Now that we have the database dump files, we need a way to get them out of the docker container. ❯ docker exec -i /usr/bin/mongodump -username -password -authenticationDatabase admin -db -out /dump Instead we'll simply dump the files to somewhere within the docker container, and then docker cp them out. Unlike with most other database solutions, the dump will be a bunch of individual files, and so we can't easily rely on shell piping to get this somewhere directly on your docker host machine. We can use the following command to create a dump of your entire database, all collections included.
