Docker Compose MongoDB server

In one container start the Docker server, the other one will be the client that is built based on the Dockerfile

version: '3.8'
services:
  client:
    build: .
    volumes:
    - .:/opt
    links:
    - mongodb
    command: tail -f /dev/null
  mongodb:
    image: mongo:latest

The Dockerfile is also based on the official mongodb image as that made it easy to have mongosh already installed.

FROM mongo:latest

Start the two containers:

docker-compose up -d

Connect to the client container:

docker exec -it mongodb_client_1 bash

Start the mongodb client and connect to the server running in the other container

mongosh mongodb://mongodb:27017
