How to Run MongoDB in Docker

[@javajavelin1]

You are so succinct and fluent in explaining every little tidbit meticulously and flawlessly. I'd appreciate if you can make a 1 hour docker course. Because, it can cover and clear all the concepts of docker in 1 hour which other videos of length 10+ hours unable to do. Thanks so much ❤

You have such an easy way of explaning without complexity being added over it. Best wishes, I wanted to sub you but I guess, that you stopped posting videos. All the greetings from India.

[@scriptbytes]

Ya I haven't posted in a while. Between kids, family, summer, and a new position at work, I've taken a break. I'm hoping to start posting again now that summer is over and things are slowing down. Thanks for watching!

[@abc_cba]

@@scriptbytes Take all your time, i only wanted to appreciate you, you're an awesome teacher. Best wishes.

[@renealbrechtsen9743]

In newer docker versions you can just call it 'compose.yaml" and you also don't need to add "version".

[@edward481]

Thanks so much for this video, very clear and helpful. Do you know why a second volume is created which has a name that looks like a long id of some kind?

[@AmitKapadiaUK]

This is a fantastic tutorial. Can you show how we would deploy this docker compose image to gcloud please. I'm stuck on how to get this live. 🙏

[@scriptbytes]

Where and how you deploy it depends on a few things (price, size, public facing, managed, etc), but I have an older video out that shows how to run a Postgres database on a Google Compute Engine VM. In that video I am showing postgres, and I'm using Docker Run (not compose), but the same general rules would apply. I haven't used it, but MongoDB Atlas in GCP is another option, but it's not using Docker.

[@AmitKapadiaUK]

@scriptbytes thank you. It's for a client of mine. Small app with not many impressions. Less than a thousand impressions a month. My docker compose image is using node and postgres images

[@jakubk7158]

great video thanks :)

[@fatimarani6544]

PS D:\mongoDB> docker compose up no configuration file provided: not found got this error

[@paulh6933]

Awesome video. couple of q's. when u make a named volume, where is it located in case i wanted to back it up (guessing it may change between mac and windows). how much memory does your mac have. on windows, w/ wsl i mac out my 16gb, even w/ restricting resources

[@scriptbytes]

With named volumes, I'm not actually sure where they are, Docker handles all of it. However it sounds like you might want to not use a named volume, and instead give it a path directly to a folder on your pc. Something like this: -v C:/path/to/folder:/data/db This way instead of a volume managed by Docker, it's a folder directly on your host. I have 32GB of memory on this. It's pretty normal for me to be using around 25GB total, but I run a lot of stuff at once lol.

[@zed620]

How do I run TWO or more Micro-services (Spring boot + MongoDB) in a docker compose container ? I can not get my head around it, do I need two separate instance of MongoDB on two different ports?

[@scriptbytes]

If you need two different databases in the same docker compose, then I think they need to be on different ports. I haven't tested it yet, but I would think it would work. Maybe I'll do some testing and research and do a video on it.

[@scriptbytes]

I just ran a really really quick test. I created two different databases in my docker compose file, each with a unique port. I was able to connect to each of them. I think that should work for you. Good luck!

[@RomiLandau]

for some reason i cant seem to connect to the server , the container is running but i cant connect , i have tried every thing

[@scriptbytes]

Are you getting any errors or info from the logs in the container? It will probably show if it's a wrong password or anything like that. One thing that's happened to me is having special characters in my password that the terminal didn't like. Thinks like \ / ' #, etc.

[@RomiLandau]

@@scriptbytes actually I had mongo installed before (locally) and the connection tried only the local one no matter the port , once I deleted the local one it worked great
