Step 5: Managing MongoDB Using CLI Over SSH
For advanced users and production environments, the MongoDB CLI offers more control.
- To access the MongoDB CLI, you need to run the command in your MongoDB shell that you got after MongoDB installation, “MongoDB CLI access (via Docker)”.
docker exec -it mongodb_server mongosh -u admin -p "password" --authenticationDatabase admin2. After pasting the above command, you will be successfully logged in to your MongoDB instance.
Common MongoDB CLI Commands
- Show databases
show dbs- Create or switch database
use mydatabase- Create a collection
db.createCollection("users")- Insert data
db.users.insertOne({ name: "John", role: "admin" })- View data
db.users.find().pretty()
