paco0512/mongodb repository overview

⁠MongoDB

This image is based on the official Mongodb Docker-Image but offers capabilities to add more configuration via shell scripts. These scripts have to be mounted into Containers /mongo-init.d and will be executed sequencially

⁠How to use

To start a container just run docker run -d -p 27017:27017 paco0512/mongodb. To start a MongoDB with auth do docker run -d -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=admin -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=<secret-pass> -p 27017:27017 paco0512/mongodb this creates a user in the admin DB.

⁠Provisioning

To provision MongoDB the images exposes two volumes /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d and /mongo-init.d In both you can put either .js or .sh scripts.

⁠Database

To create new databases or users you can extend the image putting scripts into /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d.

⁠MongoDB

To configure e.g. a sharded MongoDB cluster you have to run several commands. This⁠ tutorial by Dzone was a reference implementation. To automate these steps just create scripts and mount it into /mongo-init.d. These scripts will be executed after your Database has been provisioned with all basic stuff like users/ databases.
