gregweber/mongodb repository overview

⁠MongoDB Dockerfile

Forked from dockerfile/mongodb, but works on top of debian instead of Ubuntu. This makes for a slimmer Docker image.

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

⁠Base Docker Image

debian

⁠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

⁠Run mongod

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

⁠Run mongod w/ persistent/shared directory

docker run -d -p 27017:27017 -v <db-dir>:/data/db --name mongodb dockerfile/mongodb

⁠Run mongod w/ HTTP support

docker run -d -p 27017:27017 -p 28017:28017 --name mongodb dockerfile/mongodb mongod --rest --httpinterface

⁠Run mongod w/ Smaller default file size

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

⁠Run mongo

docker run -it --rm --link mongodb:mongodb dockerfile/mongodb bash -c 'mongo --host 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"

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