Automated CI/CD of MongoDB with docker-compose.yml and .github/workflows for GitHub Actions.

Whitelist IPs so we can connect to the database from our local machine.

sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw allow from <IP-ADDRESS> to any port 27017

I set up a default root account and required authentication to access the database.

Note that when you pass a password you need to escape certain characters such as $ becomes %24.

# connect from inside the linode
mongosh mongodb://root:password@localhost:27017/

# connect from local use connection string in compass
mongodb://admin:[email protected]:27017/

ssh [email protected]

I named the volume dereck-mongo-data.

docker volume ls
docker volume inspect dereck-mongo-data
# delete volume
docker volume rm dereck-mongo-data
