2. fetch the latest version of the MongoDB image

Here we pull the official image of the latest version:

$ docker pull mongo:latest

3. Check the local image

Use the following command to see if mongo is installed.

$ docker images

In the above image you can see that we have installed the latest version (latest) of the mongo image.

4. Run the container

Once the installation is complete, we can run the mongo container using the following command.

$ docker run -itd --name mongo -p 27017:27017 mongo --auth

Parameter Description:

• -p 27017:27017: Maps port 27017 of the container service to port 27017 of the host. External access to mongo’s services can be made directly through the host ip:27017.
• –auth: requires a password to access the container service.

5. Successful installation

Finally, we can view the running information of the container by using the docker ps command:

Next, use the following command to add a user and set a password, and try to connect.

$ docker exec -it mongo mongo admin
# Create a user named admin with a password of 123456.
> db.createUser({ user:'admin',pwd:'123456',roles:[ { role:'userAdminAnyDatabase', db: 'admin'}, "readWriteAnyDatabase"]});
# Try to connect using the user information created above.
> db.auth('admin', '123456')
