MongoDB docker image using alpine linux.

MongoDB

MongoDB running on alpine edge.

Recommendations:

Persist data dir.

The data directory might be something you wish to persist.
The dir is located /data/db, so just add that as a volume.

Persist and change the conf file.

The configuration file is located at /config/mongd.conf.

For production.

If you for some reason wish to use this image for production there are some things you should do:
The --auth flag is off by default. For security reasons I would recommend adding it in the config file.
This can be done by adding the /config directory as a local volume and then editing the mongod.conf file, changing security.authorization to enabled.
After changing the file, the container need to be restarted.

OBSERVE
If you enable auth a user is required to login, create the user before enabling auth (or through the container even after auth is on):

mongo --port 27017
// If not running on localhost:
mongo domain.or.ip.tdl:27017

use admin
db.createUser(
  {
    user: "UserAdmin",
    pwd: "super-secret-password",
    roles: [ { role: "userAdminAnyDatabase", db: "admin" } ]
  }
)

Now the database should only be accessable by a real user!
