This will create a Dockerized MongoDB with

• authentication enabled
• root user & password
• admin user & password
• default database
• default database user (dbUser) & password

This is built from the official MongoDB image. When the variables

• MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME
• MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD

are used, authorization and root user/password are created automatically. The additional users and database are created from a custom startup_script that is added to docker-entrypoint-initdb.d and run after the default docker-entrypoint.

This build utilizes a .env file. ** Please change username and passwords to your own values. **

From the command line:

docker-compose build 
docker-compose up

If you are deploying this multiple times locally for development purposes, you'll need to clear volumes and images between deployments.

Exec into container:

docker exec -it <container name> bash

If using Git for Windows, use this:

winpty docker exec -it <container name> bash

Access MongoDB:

mongo -u <username> -p <password> --authenticationDatabase <authentication database name> 

For example:

mongo -u dbUser -p dbUser_pw --authenticationDatabase useful_database
