The “here” in this case is my local machine, an OSX El Capitan. Running it here, required a:
brew install mongo mongod --dbpath /usr/local/data/mongodb/ --fork --logpath /var/log/mongodb/mongodb.log
And “there” is an Ubuntu Xenial VPS, where I have docker running.
The docker config I have for Mongo is part of my docker-compose
file:
mongodb: image: mongo:latest volumes: - ./rundata/mongodb:/data/db
