GoormIDE | Can't run mongod in GoormIDE Container - mongodb

Question

For context: I am creating a website in html+ejs+mongoose which I had created locally on my pc. Since I want to see the website running on another device besides my local computer, I uploaded the files on GitHub and then cloned it into an online IDE, in this case, GoormIDE, to do that.
As the title above had said, I can't run mongod in a container even though I have enabled mongoDB in the container setup. I created a file which is mongod which runs the code mongod --nojournal so that I will not have journal files in my directory. I kept receiving this error code:

Because of this, I can't start the website because it needs mongoDB/mongoose in order to run the server.
It seems that mongod/mongoDB doesn't have a data directory. Any ideas?

Answer 1

I already found the answer guys!
I just need to put -dbpath ./data/db after mongod
With that, I created a directory of data/db where I will store all the data from mongoDB.
so now I edited the file that I created named "mongod" with: mongod --nojournal -dbpath ./data/db and everything works once again. I feel pretty silly not knowing this but I hope I will never make this mistake again.
