error: MongoError: Authentication failed. I am using docker and mongoose

Question

I try to connect to mongoDB through docker-compose but i get the same error over and over again although i tried all the solutions from the net. Thank you.

I have my docker-compose.yml as

# Use root/example as user/password credentials
version: '3.1'

services:

  mongo:
    image: mongo
    restart: always
    container_name: mongo
    ports:
      - 27017:27017
    environment:
      MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: root
      MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: example
      MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE: test
      MONGO_USERNAME: admin
      MONGO_PASSWORD: example
      
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data/db
      - ./mongo-entrypoint.sh:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/mongo-init.sh:ro
    command: mongod


  mongo-express:
    image: mongo-express
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8081:8081
    environment:
      ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINUSERNAME: root
      ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINPASSWORD: example

And I have such a shell script

mongo -- "$MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE" <<EOF
  db.createUser({
    user: "$MONGO_USERNAME",
    pwd: "$MONGO_PASSWORD",
    roles: [
      { role: 'readWrite', db: "$MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE" }
    ]
  })
EOF

And I try to connect to database by:

mongoose
  .connect("mongodb://admin:example@localhost:27017/test")
  .then(() => console.log("connected"))
  .catch((e) => console.log("error:", e));

In Linux my friend can connect with the same code pieces but I am getting this error:

Answer 1

I solved this just by changing the port from 27017 to 27018. Unfortunately, another app of mine was using that port.

Answer 2

There is my solved used:

docker-compose -f stack.yml up --build --force-recreate --renew-anon-volumes -d

stack.yml: version: "3.5"

services: mongo: image: mongo:latest container_name: mongo environment: MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: admin MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: admin ports: - "0.0.0.0:27017:27017" networks: - MONGO volumes: - MONGO_DATA:/Users/lirui/docker/data/mongo/db - MONGO_CONFIG:/Users/lirui/docker/data/mongo/configdb mongo-express: image: mongo-express:latest container_name: mongo-express environment: ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINUSERNAME: admin ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINPASSWORD: admin ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_SERVER: mongo ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_PORT: "27017" ports: - "0.0.0.0:8088:8081" networks: - MONGO depends_on: - mongo

networks: MONGO: name: MONGO

volumes: MONGO_DATA: name: MONGO_DATA

MONGO_CONFIG: name: MONGO_CONFIG

Replace path with your compute absolute path.

And DO NOT use 'root' to authentication.

Answer 3

use mongosh

shell script can use:

mongosh --port 27017 --authenticationDatabase -u "$MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME" -p "$MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD"  <<EOF
  use admin
  db.createUser({
     user: process.env.MONGO_USERNAME ,
     pwd: process.env.MONGO_PASSWORD ,
     roles: [{ 
        role: 'readWrite',
        db: process.env.MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE }]
   })
EOF
