Connect to Mongo (hosted on VM) from local machine using SpringBoot - mongodb

Question

I have setup MongoDB on a VM. Now I need connect to Mongo (hosted on VM) from local machine using SpringBoot. What do I change in application.propeties file given that I have that VMs' username, password and IP address.
How do I set up Mongo in VM for the below InitDatabase class
import org.springframework.boot.CommandLineRunner;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoOperations;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
#Component
public class InitDatabase {
#Bean
CommandLineRunner init(MongoOperations operations) {
return args -> {
operations.dropCollection(Image.class);
operations.insert(new Image("1",
"learning-spring-boot-cover.jpg"));
operations.insert(new Image("2",
"learning-spring-boot-2nd-edition-cover.jpg"));
operations.insert(new Image("3",
"bazinga.png"));
operations.findAll(Image.class).forEach(image -> {
System.out.println(image.toString());
});
};
}
}

You should override spring.mongodb configuration properties :
MongoDB config
spring.data.mongodb.authentication-database= *which_authentication_database_you_want_to_connect*
spring.data.mongodb.username=*database_username*
spring.data.mongodb.password=*database_password*
spring.data.mongodb.database=*which_database_you_want_to_connect*
spring.data.mongodb.port=*running_mongo_instance_port*
spring.data.mongodb.host=*running_mongo_instance_host -- you should write your own VM's ip address*
