MongoDB

MongoDB is widely used NoSql database. We use it often in out projects, docker is the most convenient solution.

Only MongoDB

We can use MongoDB docker image directly and connect to application and use MongoDB Compass for database client.

services:
  mongodb:
    image: mongo
    ports:
      - "27017:27017"
    volumes:
      - mongo_db_data:/data/db
    environment:
      MONGODB_DATABASE: db
volumes:
  mongo_db_data:
