MongoDB Dockerfile

This repository contains Dockerfile of MongoDB for Docker's automated build published to the public Docker Hub Registry.

Base Docker Image

• dockerfile/ubuntu

Installation

1. Install Docker.

2. Download automated build from public Docker Hub Registry: docker pull dockerfile/mongodb

   (alternatively, you can build an image from Dockerfile: docker build -t="dockerfile/mongodb" github.com/dockerfile/mongodb)

Usage with VirtualBox (boot2docker-vm)

You will need to set up nat port forwarding with:

VBoxManage modifyvm "boot2docker-vm" --natpf1 "guestmongodb,tcp,127.0.0.1,27017,,27017"

If boot2docker is already running:

boot2docker stop && VBoxManage modifyvm "boot2docker-vm" --natpf1 "guestmongodb,tcp,127.0.0.1,27017,,27017" && boot2docker restart

This will allow you to connect to your mongo container with the standard mongo commands.

docker run -d -p 27017:27017 --name mongodb dockerfile/mongodb
