How to run MongoDB and Mongo-express with docker-compose?

Question

I try to run MongoDB and Mongo-express by Docker-compose. I use following config:

version: \'3\'

services:
    mongo:
        image: mongo
        environment:
         


        

Answer 1

Mongo-express changed the user and pass ENV keywords:

OLD:

- ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_AUTH_USERNAME=${MONGO_ROOT_USER}
- ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_AUTH_PASSWORD=${MONGO_ROOT_PASSWORD}

NEW:

 - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINUSERNAME=${MONGO_ROOT_USER}
 - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINPASSWORD=${MONGO_ROOT_PASSWORD}

Answer 2

The simplest way is run docker-compose up -d in directory with docker-compose.yml:

version: "3"
services:
  mongo:
    image: "mongo:3-stretch"
  mongo-express:
    image: "mongo-express:latest"
    ports:
      - "8081:8081"

And then open http://localhost:8081/ in your browser.

Answer 3

it works in my mac. If you delete docker-compose containers and rebuild, maybe it will work. I added my files. Only i changed mongo-express port.

.env

MONGO_ROOT_USER=devroot
MONGO_ROOT_PASSWORD=devroot
MONGOEXPRESS_LOGIN=dev
MONGOEXPRESS_PASSWORD=dev

docker-compose.yml

version: '3'

services:
    mongo:
        image: mongo
        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=false
            - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_AUTH_DATABASE=admin
            - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_AUTH_USERNAME=${MONGO_ROOT_USER}
            - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_AUTH_PASSWORD=${MONGO_ROOT_PASSWORD}
            - ME_CONFIG_BASICAUTH_USERNAME=${MONGOEXPRESS_LOGIN}
            - ME_CONFIG_BASICAUTH_PASSWORD=${MONGOEXPRESS_PASSWORD}
        depends_on:
            - mongo
        ports:
          - "8888:8081"

This is very useful things but same time unstable. You need find out your own way How to write docker-compose.yml For me It's was works something like that

version: '3'
services:
  db:
    image: mongo:2.6.12
    container_name: app_db
    volumes:
      - store:/data/db
    ports:
      - "27017:27017"
  mongo-express:
    container_name: mongo-express
    links:
      - 'db:mongo'
    ports:
      - '8081:8081'
    environment:
      - 'ME_CONFIG_OPTIONS_EDITORTHEME=ambiance'
      - 'ME_CONFIG_BASICAUTH_USERNAME=user'
      - 'ME_CONFIG_BASICAUTH_PASSWORD=pass'
    image: mongo-express 

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

Running it like this just worked for me maybe it helps you

      mongoex:
        image: mongo-express
        environment:
        - ME_CONFIG_OPTIONS_EDITORTHEME=ambiance
        - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_SERVER=database
        - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_PORT=27017
        - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ENABLE_ADMIN=false
        - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_AUTH_DATABASE=admin
        ports:
        - "8081:8081"
        links:
        - database
      database:
        image: mongo:latest
        command: --smallfiles
        ports:
          - "27017:27017"

good luck and regards!
