I'm having trouble creating a mongo database using the docker-compose command. Docker desktop tells me that everything is up and running including the db, but all I get is the standard 'admin, config, local' not the db I want to create. Here's my docker-compose.yaml

version: '3'

services:

  app:
    build: ./
    entrypoint: ./.docker/entrypoint.sh
    ports:
    - 3000:3000
    volumes:
    - .:/home/node/app
    depends_on:
    - db

  db:
    image: mongo:4.4.4
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - ./.docker/dbdata:/data/db
      - ./.docker/mongo:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
    environment:
      - MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=root
      - MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=root
      - MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE=nest
  
  mongo-express:
    image: mongo-express
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8081:8081
    environment:
      - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_SERVER=db
      - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_AUTH_USERNAME=root
      - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_AUTH_PASSWORD=root
      - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINUSERNAME=root
      - ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINPASSWORD=root
    depends_on:
    - db

my init.js inside .docker/mongo

db.routes.insertMany([
  {
    _id: "1",
    title: "Primeiro",
    startPosition: {lat: -15.82594, lng: -47.92923},
    endPosition: {lat: -15.82942, lng: -47.92765},
  },
  {
    _id: "2",
    title: "Segundo",
    startPosition: {lat: -15.82449, lng: -47.92756},
    endPosition: {lat: -15.82776, lng: -47.92621},
  },
  {
    _id: "3",
    title: "Terceiro",
    startPosition: {lat: -15.82331, lng: -47.92588},
    endPosition: {lat: -15.82758, lng: -47.92532},
  }
]);

and my dockerfile

FROM node:14.18.1-alpine

RUN apk add --no-cache bash

RUN npm install -g @nestjs/cli

USER node

WORKDIR /home/node/app

and this is the 'error' log I get from docker when I run the nest container with mongodb, nest app and mongo express(there is actually a lot more but SO keeps thinking that it is spam for some reason.

about to fork child process, waiting until server is ready for connections.

this is what running docker-compose ps shows

this what my docker desktop shows

CodePudding user response：

The MongoDB container only creates a database if no database already exists. You probably already have one, which is why a new database isn't created and your initialization script isn't run.

Delete the contents of ./.docker/dbdata on the host. Then start the containers with docker-compose and Mongo should create your database for you.
