How to install and test MongoDB using Docker?
To install and test MongoDB in Docker, you can follow the steps below:
- Firstly, make sure that Docker is already installed. If not, please install it according to your operating system.
- Open the terminal or command prompt and run the following command to pull the Docker image of MongoDB.
- Download the MongoDB image using Docker.
- After the image download is complete, run the following command to start the MongoDB container:
- Run a container named “mymongodb” in the background, mapping port 27017 of the host to port 27017 of the container, using the mongo image.
- The “-d” option is used to run the container in the background.
- The -p parameter maps the port 27017 of the Docker host to port 27017 of the container.
- The –name parameter specifies the name of the container.
- After the MongoDB container has started, you can connect to the MongoDB database using the following command:
- Run the MongoDB CLI inside my MongoDB container using Docker.
- This will open the command line interface for MongoDB.
- In the MongoDB command line interface, you can conduct testing. For example, you can try creating a new database and collection.
- – Create a database called “testdb”
– Create a collection named “testcollection” in the database. - Additional MongoDB operations can be performed as needed.
- After completing the test, you can exit the MongoDB command line interface using the following command:
- leave
- To stop and remove a MongoDB container, you can use the following command:
- Stop the container named mymongodb.
Remove the container named mymongodb.
This way, you can install and test MongoDB in Docker.
