What i am missing here ?

Answer 1

Not a MongoDB expert, but a moderate Docker user speaking: It looks like you are not publishing the port MongoDB runs by default: 27017 . That's why your spring application could not get a connection and throws this exception:

Exception in monitor thread while connecting to server 192.168.99.100:27017

So you may try publishing the port by using -p 27017:27017 when initiating mongo container.
