You may need to create the nodebb database

@Dan-Reyes
If you do

 use admin

when login to mongo, and then you do db.createUser database is admin not nodebb

Did you run the NodeBB installation routine? It creates this database for you.

https://docs.nodebb.org/installing/os/ubuntu/
and I still get the same error he is having.
