swcc/docker-mongodb repository overview

⁠docker-mongodb

A MongoDB Dockerfile to spin up a mongodb container.

⁠Quickstart

This image is available as a trusted build on the docker index. The easiest way to get it on your server is using docker pull:

.. code-block:: bash

$ docker pull swcc/docker-mongodb

Alternatively, you can clone this repository and build the image yourself:

.. code-block:: bash

$ docker build -t=swcc/docker-mongodb .

⁠Using this image

After building/retrieving the Docker container:

.. code-block:: bash

# Run the docker container
docker run -p 27017:27017 -name mongodb -d swcc/docker-mongodb /sbin/my_init --enable-insecure-key # Give container a name in case it's linked to another app container

• docker run - starts a new docker container
  • -p 27017:27017 - Optionnal: binds the local port 27017 to the container's port 27017, so a local.
  • -d swcc/docker-mongodb - Use the image tagged "swcc/docker-mongodb" if you need to link it to another container for instance.
  • -name mongodb - Give it a name to easily linked it to another container.
  • /sbin/my_init - Run the init scripts used to kick off long-running processes and other bootstrapping, as per phusion/baseimage-docker⁠
  • --enable-insecure-key - Enable a generated SSL key so you can SSH into the container, again as per phusion/baseimage-docker⁠. Generate your own SSH key for production use.
• If you use this with phusion/passenger-ruby20⁠ or phusion/passenger-nodejs⁠, then naming this container via -name mongodb will allow you to link it⁠ with the web-app.
