Step 1: Create docker network
docker network create mongo-network
Step 2: start mongodb
docker run -d -p 27017:27017 -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=admin -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=password --name mongodb --net mongo-network mongo
Step 3: start mongo-express
docker run -d -p 8081:8081 -e ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINUSERNAME=admin -e ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINPASSWORD=password --net mongo-network --name mongo-express -e ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_SERVER=mongodb mongo-express
NOTE: creating docker-network in optional. You can start both containers in a default network. In this case, just emit --net flag in docker run command
Step 1: start mongodb and mongo-express
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yaml up
You can access the mongo-express under localhost:8080 from your browser
Step 2: open mongo-express from browser
http://localhost:8081
Step 3: create my-db db and my-collection collection and document with {myid: 1, data: "some dynamic data loaded from db"} in mongo-express
Step 4: Access you nodejs application UI from browser
http://localhost:3000
