Learn how to run MongoDB in a Docker Container. This is a great way to run and test applications against a local database. I show how to run the container using the "docker run" command using a volume to persist data. I also show how to connect, modify, and view the database contents in VS Code using the MongoDB for VS Code extension. Then I show how to run the container using Docker Compose to make startup quicker and easier. #docker #mongodb #programming Gist for docker compose file and docker run command: https://gist.github.com/ScriptBytes/2c0b8658fe6e16467f697f76be06f7bd Mongo Docker docs: https://hub.docker.com/_/mongo MongDB for VS Code Extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mongodb.mongodb-vscode Docker Volumes docs: https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/ Docker Compose docs: https://docs.docker.com/compose/ Follow me on social media!
