Answer 1

Some updates in new verion of mongo-express, the accepted solution doesn't work any more, especially you need fix this issue

TypeError: Cannot read property 'listDatabases' of undefined

Tips

Do remember, if you adjust the setting, restart it with option --force-recreate.

docker-compose up --force-recreate -d

Here is the docker-compose.yml I am using currently.

version: '3'

services:
    mongo:
        image: mongo:${MONGO_TAG}
        environment:
            - MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=${MONGO_ROOT_USER}
            - MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=${MONGO_ROOT_PASSWORD}
            - MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE=project
    mongo-express:
        image: mongo-express
        environment:
            - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_SERVER=mongo
            - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_PORT=27017
            - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ENABLE_ADMIN=true
            - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_AUTH_DATABASE=admin
            - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINUSERNAME=${MONGO_ROOT_USER}
            - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINPASSWORD=${MONGO_ROOT_PASSWORD}
            - ME_CONFIG_BASICAUTH_USERNAME=${MONGOEXPRESS_LOGIN}
            - ME_CONFIG_BASICAUTH_PASSWORD=${MONGOEXPRESS_PASSWORD}
