Deploy MongoDB on Docker container running Debian Stretch ( Debian 9.x )

Anoop P, July 10, 2017

Here is our public repository , that allows to deploy MogoDB on docker with a single command. We created a Docker image that runs debian for that.

Docker Pull Command

docker pull broadtech/debian-stretch-mongodb

https://hub.docker.com/r/broadtech/debian-stretch-mongodb/
latest: digest: sha256:1af066db3b4c030fd14904c7e11c2021920cdb348a80d097ec1751ee29860ff0

This repository image contains Debian Stretch Linux from which MongoDB service can be run automatically.

Steps:

  1. Install Docker daemon if you already have not
    https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/
  2. Deploy MongoDB from the image in this repository
    $ sudo docker run broadtech/debian-stretch-mongodb:latest

You will see something similar to this on screen:

Status: Downloaded newer image for broadtech/debian-stretch-mongodb:latest

Next MongoDB will start automatically and Listen on TCP PORT 27017
You can connect to it from host using any MongoDB client

First get container ID

$ sudo docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE
f2794236e8e6 broadtech/debian-stretch-mongodb:latest

Next, find the IP Address of the running container

$ sudo docker inspect f2794236e8e6 |grep “IPAddress”
“SecondaryIPAddresses”: null,
“IPAddress”: “172.17.0.2”,
“IPAddress”: “172.17.0.2”,

Finally connect to the container from host

$ mongo 172.17.0.2
MongoDB shell version: 3.2.11
connecting to: 172.17.0.2/test
Welcome to the MongoDB shell.

MongoDB sometimes comes without a default password and this has cause exposure of Data on the Internet.

So please be sure to provide passwords for users if you wish to expose your MongoDB server to the outside world.
