mrsarm/mongotail repository overview

Run with Docker the help command:

$ docker run -it --rm mrsarm/mongotail --help

If you want to connect with a database also running locally in a container, you have to link both instances (see howto in the Docker documentation), or if the db is a local instance running without Docker, remember to use the local IP of your computer because the localhost address (IP 127.0.0.1) points to the container, not to your host. Eg.:

$ docker run -it --rm mrsarm/mongotail 192.168.0.21/test

If it does not work, it may be related with network access rules, or because the mongo instance is not listening remote connections, check to have properly configured the IP Binding⁠.
