Can't connect to mongodb created in dokploy

[Casal0x]

I created a MongoDB instance in dokploy as it comes in the templates. But can't connect to it through the external URL.
Other DB's like postgres are accessible also other test services.
Maybe something is missing from the base template, or I have to configure something extra that I don't know much about it.

It should work, I tested it now and it works fine using mongodb compass.

Make sure you exposed the database and copy the url

then just paste the connection here click on connect and it should work

you could also check the docs https://docs.dokploy.com/docs/core/databases/connection/mongo-atlas

I have it in the same way as yours but is timing out. Don't know what could be, can you show me you traefik config

One common problem is forgetting to expose the port in your VPS, e.g. if you have Hetzner firewall inbound rules set up but did not include 27019.

i though about it at first, but oracle free tier doesn't have nothing like that, and I tried with others db setting custom or same ports that use mongo and they work, just mongo not working at all

That's odd - with OCI free tier for me, I've always had to manually expose my ports in Virtual Cloud Networks

Guide:

Also, I suggest trying to connect using some local mongodb client on your default network, then try with a VPN enabled.

Finally, it's good to double-check if Mongodb is actually running successfully (e.g. try connecting from within your VPS or check the logs) - need to rule out that it didn't fail to start because the port was taken by another DB in your other tests.

@Casal0x Did you find a way to fix this? or is it still not working? been encountering the same error

[Dev-jeevandip]

@Siumauricio I am facing same error when I enable Use Replica Sets. Else is working fine. I try different time, but it issue with Replica Sets. I also try to use connection string with ?authSource=admin&replicaSet=rs0 as mentioned in mongodb documentation but not working.

[Dev-jeevandip]

If I disable replica set than the connection string will be mongodb://<username>:<password>@<server_ip>:<server_port>/

If replica set is enable than the connection string will be mongodb://<username>:<password>@<server_ip>:<server_port>/?directConnection=true

Worked for me.

Correct, this is what worked for me as a connectionstring: mongodb://username:password@ipaddress:27017/database_name?directConnection=true&authSource=admin
Had a replicaset deployed.

Do keep in mind though, when connecting from your application, you pay attention to ssl settings as well.
