Overview

Mongo database deployed with the official Docker image.

• A volume is mounted to the service to persist data between builds.

• TCP proxying is configured to allow accessing the database from anywhere.

Start Command

The Mongo container deployed from this template is started with the following command, to enable communication over IPv6 (required for Private Networking): docker-entrypoint.sh mongod --ipv6 --bind_ip ::,0.0.0.0

How to use

Reference the MONGO_URL variable from your service to connect to the database in your tool of choice (e.g. ${{Mongo.MONGO_URL}})

Connecting

Connect to the database using the proxied domain and port found on the service Settings page. The password can be found on the Variables page.

In a terminal, for example:

mongo mongodb://mongo:PASSWORD@TCP_PROXY_DOMAIN:TCP_PROXY_PORT
