Answer 1

You need to export the port you want to use in your docker command. e.g.
docker run -p 127.0.0.1:27017:27017 --name some-mongo -d mongo
This opens the port of the container on your host machine.

Answer 2

Click New Connection
Enter the Connection name
Click on From URI
Enter the URI in the following format
mongodb://{username}:{password}#{ip_address}:{port}/?authSource=admin
Click OK
Click Test Connection
Works?
No: Check your username, password, etc
yes: Congrats!

You need to find the IP address where the Docker container is running. On Mac docker runs in the background inside a linux VM that has its own IP. Thus localhost will not work.
To find the IP, run docker-machine env default and set this IP in the Server field.

Answer 4

for those on windows kindly check in task manager and make sure you don't have a local installation of mongo db server running then use localhost in address/connection string

Answer 5

I was running mongodb with wsl2 and docker, so I needed just to add "from uri", and set up ip_adress with the ip from wsl2.
I used this URI:
mongodb://{username}:{password}#{ip_address}:{port}/?authSource=admin
username = MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME
password = MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD
port = 27017(docker container port will be set up on docker parameter "-p")
ip_address = Ip from wsl2 in my case, or localhost if you running docker locally.
This was my command to run the container on the first time :
docker container run -d -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=mongouser -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=mongopwd -p 27017:27017 -v mongo_vol:/data/db mongo:4.4.3
