I'm trying to see the contents of a collection using MongoDB Compass. I have username/password authentication set up. I can log in successfully but can't see any documents in the collection. Instead, I see the error:
An error occurred while loading navigation: command hostInfo requires authentication.
Docker Compose file
version: '3.7'
services:
mongo:
image: mongo

ports:

ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINUSERNAME: admin
ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINPASSWORD: pass
init-mongo.js file
use admin
db.createUser({
user: "rmurad93",
pwd: "password",
roles: [ { role: "root", db: "admin" } ]
})
Line in terminal mongo compass
mongodb://localhost:27017/rmurad93:password
to connect to MongoCompass you should follow this pattern
mongodb://USERNAME:PASSWORD#localhost:27017/DB_NAME
If you still can't connecting, try using (Fill in connection fields individually)
option shown above instead of (Paste connection string)

Here is my docker-compose file:
version: '3' services: mongo:
image: mongo
container_name: mongo
restart: always
environment:
- MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: admin
- MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: root
ports:
- 27017:27017
volumes:
- ./mongo-data:/data/db
command: --wiredTigerCacheSizeGB 1.5
I try to connect to Mongo container but constantly receive the same error:
MongoServerError: Authentication failed
Here are 2 variants of connection strings I've used, neither worked:
mongodb://admin:root#localhost:27017/admin
mongodb://admin:root#localhost:27017/admin?authSource=admin
What can I try next?
I am creating mongo:latest container on my machine using docker-compose.
This is my docker-compose.yaml:
version: '3.6'
services:
backend:
image: backend:1.0.0
container_name: backend
ports:
- '5000:5000'
links:
- mongodb
environment:
NODE_ENV: PRODUCTION
API_PORT: 5000
MONGO_USERNAME: root
MONGO_PASSWORD: rootPassXXX
MONGO_HOST: mongodb
MONGO_PORT: 27017
MONGO_DATABASE: automatic
JWT_TOKEN: Auto
scheduler:
image: scheduler:1.0.0
container_name: scheduler
links:
- mongodb
environment:
NODE_ENV: PRODUCTION
API_PORT: 5000
MONGO_USERNAME: root
MONGO_PASSWORD: rootPassXXX
MONGO_HOST: mongodb
MONGO_PORT: 27017
MONGO_DATABASE: automatic
mongodb:
image: mongo
container_name: mongodb
expose:
- 27017
ports:
- '27017:27017'
environment:
- MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=root
- MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=rootPassXXX
volumes:
- ./conf/mongodb:/data/db
volumes:
autoc:
external: true
networks:
default:
external:
name: automatic
After creating those containers I am receiving from them an error: MongoServerError: Authentication failed.
This is the URI that the application is trying to connect: mongodb://root:rootPassXXX#mongodb:27017/matiautomai.
While trying to investigate what was happening, I was trying to log in to the same mongo container
that initializes with the user name and password variables without the credentials using that way: mongodb://mongodb:27017/automatic, And the application manages to connect to it.
I've reviewed the docs inside the Docker hub and it seems to be that I used the environment variables in the correct way.
What am I missing here?
After seeing your helpful comments, I found the solution for this issue.
I needed to initialize a one-time docker-compose with an initial script that located inside.
docker-compose.yaml:
version: '3.7'
services:
mongodb:
container_name: mongodb
image: mongo:latest
restart: always
ports:
- 27017:27017
environment:
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: root
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: password
MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE: root-db
volumes:
- ./docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/mongo-init.js:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/mongo-init.js:ro
This is the script that located inside ./docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/mongo-init.js:
print('start ~~~~');
db = db.getSiblingDB('yourDBname');
db.createUser(
{
user: 'username',
pwd: 'password',
roles: [{ role: 'readWrite', db: 'yourDBname' }],
},
);
db.createCollection('users');
print('end ~~~~');
After that, you will be able to connect to mongo with the credential you have set in the .js file.
I use the following docker-compose.yml to build a MongoDb database in a Docker container:
version: "3"
services:
mongodb:
image: mongo:latest
container_name: mongodb
volumes:
- mongo_data:/data/db
ports:
- "27017:27017"
environment:
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: admin
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: pass
MONGODB_USERNAME: user
MONGODB_PASSWORD: pass
MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE: social-network-db
volumes:
mongo_data:
Then I restarted the container and try to connect database via MongoDb Compass app by using these values:
Connection parameters
So, what is wrong and why I cannot connect to my MongoDb database? If you have some suggestion regarding to adocker-compose.yml parameter or creating used while building container, please inform me.
version: '3.1'
services:
mongo:
image: mongo
restart: always
environment:
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: root
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: example
MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE: test
volumes:
- /home/victor/Desarrollo/docker/mongo:/data/db
- ./init-mongo.js:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init-mongo.js:ro
ports:
- "27017:27017"
command:
- init-mongo.sh
mongo-express:
image: mongo-express
restart: always
ports:
- 8081:8081
environment:
ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINUSERNAME: root
ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINPASSWORD: example
and this init-mongo.sh in the same directory
db.auth("root","example")
use test
db.createUser(
{
user: "myTester",
pwd: "example", // or cleartext password
roles: [ { role: "readWrite", db: "test" } ]
}
)
db.createCollection("collectiontest");
when I build up this, the services wont start, it says its restarting, if I quit the command option from YAML, it works, but I need to create a user and a collection when I install MongoDB with docker.
How can I do that?
Thanks.
Trying to bring docker-compose up with the following:
version: '3.1'
services:
mongo:
image: mongo
container_name: mongo-db
networks:
- mongo
restart: always
environment:
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: ${MONGO_ROOT_USER}
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: ${MONGO_ROOT_PASSWORD}
MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE: ${MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE}
ports:
- 27017:27017
volumes:
- ./mongo-init.js:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/mongo-init.js:ro
mongo-express:
image: mongo-express:latest
container_name: mongo-express
restart: always
networks:
- mongo
depends_on:
- mongo
ports:
- 8081:8081
environment:
ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_SERVER: mongo
ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_PORT: 27017
ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINUSERNAME: ${MONGO_ROOT_USER}
ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINPASSWORD: ${MONGO_ROOT_PASSWORD}
The entry point js file as below:
db.createUser(
{
user: "dba",
pwd: "dba",
roles: [
{
role: "readWrite",
db: "mydb"
}
]
}
);
The variables are defined in .env file as below:
MONGO_ROOT_USER=root
MONGO_ROOT_PASSWORD=root
MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE=mydb
MONGOEXPRESS_LOGIN=dev
MONGOEXPRESS_PASSWORD=dev
When I login to mongo-express, I don't see the user or the db that is created by mongo-init.js
Also, I can't login if I try to connect using:
docker exec -it mongo-db mongo --username dba
However, if I use the following I can connect but still don't see mydb when I run show dbs:
docker exec -it mongo-db mongo --username root
What's happening here?
Thanks in advance
I think you need to change the env to:
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD
These variables, used in conjunction, create a new user and set that
user's password. This user is created in the admin authentication
database and given the role of root, which is a "superuser" role.
see the Docs
another note:
if you do not insert data with your JavaScript files, then no database is created.
MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE
This variable allows you to specify the name of a database to be used
for creation scripts in /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/*.js (see
Initializing a fresh instance below). MongoDB is fundamentally
designed for "create on first use", so if you do not insert data with
your JavaScript files, then no database is created.
