使用 PyMongo 在不同系统上连接 MongoDB

Question

I have MongoDB working on my MacBook and I am using it in the flask app to save my form data. Now I also have a windows 10 system in my lab at the institution and I can connect to it via VPN and now I want to run my flask app on my mac and save the form data on that windows 10 system. I am using pymongo for connection.

client = pymongo.MongoClient('localhost', 27017)
db = client.user_login_system

I tried changing the 'localhost' to the windows 10 system IP but it didn't work. Is there any way to connect to the windows 10 MongoDB from my mac using pymongo?

Answer 1

By default MongoDB only allows connections from the local machine ; you can widen access in the mongod.conf file.

On your windows machine, edit your /bin/mongod.cfg file and set the net section to:

net:
   bindIpAll: true
   port: 27017

and then restart the MongoDB service, then try it again.
