[网络技术]Connect Local Mongo Express Docker container to MLab mongoDB

tags: mongodb, mongo express, docker, mlab,

The official docker mongo express document doesn't mention that you can connect to a remote mongo db. But it can.

https://hub.docker.com/_/mongo-express/

Note that you cannot use your Mlab web credential for mongo db login. You have to create a db user after login to the web  portal.

Note that the following command is for windows. You will need to change ^ to \ and also add sudo in the beginning of the command.

docker run -it --rm  ^

    --name mongo-express  ^

    -p 8082:8081  ^

    -e ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_PORT="36577"  ^

    -e ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_SERVER="ds036577.mlab.com"       ^

    -e ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_AUTH_DATABASE="mongo" ^

    -e ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_AUTH_USERNAME="username" ^

    -e ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_AUTH_PASSWORD="password" ^

    -e ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ENABLE_ADMIN="false" ^
