MongoDB

The Railway MongoDB database service allows you to provision and connect to a MongoDB database with zero configuration.

Connect

There are two ways to connect to a MongoDB database:

• Add a Reference Variable to a service
• Run railway connect to start a mongodb shell

The following variables can be referenced in your services:

• MONGOHOST
• MONGOPORT
• MONGOUSER
• MONGOPASSWORD
• MONGO_URL

Connect to your MongoDB container using your library of choice and supplying the appropriate environment variables.

Image

The MongoDB database service uses the mongo:4.4 docker image.
