Although this post is bit old. I would like to share the docker-compose.yml that worked for me.

The below spins up a mongoDB instance and mongo-express.

version: '3.7'
services:
  mongo_db:
    image: mongo:4.2.12
    environment:
      MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: root
      MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: rootpassword
    ports:
      - 27017:27017
    volumes:
      - /C/Mine/mongoData:/data/db

  mongo_express:
    image: mongo-express:0.54.0
    environment:
      - ME_CONFIG_OPTIONS_EDITORTHEME=default
      - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_SERVER=mongo_db
      - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_PORT=27017
      - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ENABLE_ADMIN=true
      - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_AUTH_DATABASE=mydb
      - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINUSERNAME=root
      - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINPASSWORD=rootpassword
    ports:
      - "8081:8081"
    restart: on-failure
    depends_on:
      - mongo_db
