Hi,

I’m trying to access MongoDB through the shell and I’m getting the following error:

ubuntu@ip-xx-x-xx-xxx:~/.local/share/tutor$ tutor local run mongodb bash
docker-compose -f /home/ubuntu/.local/share/tutor/env/local/docker-compose.yml -f /home/ubuntu/.local/share/tutor/env/local/docker-compose.prod.yml -f /home/ubuntu/.local/share/tutor/env/local/docker-compose.tmp.yml --project-name tutor_local run --rm mongodb bash

I tried to check if the server is running, but I couldn’t find it

Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

I usually just connect to the running mongodb instance using:

docker exec -it tutor_local_mongodb_1 bash

Then running:

root@a6ba0acf0597:/# mongo
MongoDB shell version v4.0.25
connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/?gssapiServiceName=mongodb
Implicit session: session { "id" : UUID("0bded2dc-e58c-4465-b4df-c6ac80d292ac") }
MongoDB server version: 4.0.25
