Mongo Express

The stack configuration for the previously used mongoadmin container needs to be updated due to the switch to the more modern alternative mongo-express.

Please copy the YAML lines below and adjust them if your environment uses different parameters (e.g. environment variables or credentials).

mongoadmin:
    image: repo.moovit24.de:443/mcc_mongoexpress:4.12.0.0
    restart: always
    deploy:
      mode: replicated
      replicas: 1
      resources:
        limits:
          memory: 250M
    environment:
      ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_URL: "mongodb://root:bitte@mongodb:27017/admin?authSource=admin"
      # Credentials for web access
      ME_CONFIG_BASICAUTH_USERNAME: admin
      ME_CONFIG_BASICAUTH_PASSWORD: pass
      ME_CONFIG_SITE_BASEURL: "/mongodb"
    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    networks:
      - mcc
    depends_on:
      - mongodb

Cluster environments

If you are running Helmut4 in a clustered setup, the MongoDB service reference must be adjusted to use mongodb1.

Update the container configuration as shown below:

environment:
      ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_URL: "mongodb://root:bitte@mongodb1:27017/admin?authSource=admin"

depends_on:
      - mongodb1

We also recommend reviewing the section “Limit Docker Container RAM Usage” to verify that the configured memory limits are still appropriate for your system.

Accessing MongoDB data

The MongoDB can be accessed via the Mongo Express web interface at:

http://<server-url>/mongodb

Within Mongo Express you can browse databases and collections, inspect documents, and perform basic administrative tasks such as verifying data, checking indices, or troubleshooting project and asset entries.

Replace <server-url> with the hostname or IP address of your Helmut4 server.
