Hello,
I'm trying move my current forum to a docker container, but I get this error when I start and then see nodebb's log:

I checked config.json file and the database connection info, they're correct in my opinion (I've copied them from my current NodeBB forum which is running on a standalone VPS):
{
"url": "http://DOMAIN.COM/",
"secret": "e7cfe25e-6916-4831-8c6f-5856b122bfa2",
"database": "mongo",
"port": "4567",
"mongo": {
"host": "node_db",
"port": "27017",
"username": "USER",
"password": "PASS",
"database": "DB"
}
}
My mongo container is another one, and these two container can ping each other with no problem (there's no networking issue between them), but I don't know why NodeBB shows it cannot authenticate.
Also when I run ./nodebb setup, I get the below logs:
2021-04-02T20:35:15.917Z [485] - info: NodeBB Setup Triggered via Command Line
Welcome to NodeBB v1.16.2!
This looks like a new installation, so you'll have to answer a few questions about your environment before we can proceed.
Press enter to accept the default setting (shown in brackets).

I have also modified bindIp line and added nodebb's container name to allow connections, but I get this error.
bindIp: 127.0.0.1,NAME
telneting from NodeBB container to telnet mongo 27017 works fine and mongo "mongodb:[email protected]" in command line of nodebb container works fine too.
I also logged into MongoDB's shell with the exact username and password and that was right.
It's I think clear that it cannot authenticate, but I do not know why and what's my issue that I did not notice.
Could you please help me?
@inna Seems you've fairly covered the bases. That you can both connect and auth via cli is instructive. Points to maybe something nodebb config side?
For e.g., I am unclear on this stanza:
@inna said in NodeBB MongoError: Authentication failed in Docker:
"mongo": {
"host": "node_db",
"port": "27017",
"username": "USER",
"password": "PASS",
"database": "DB"
}
Emphasis added.
@inna said in NodeBB MongoError: Authentication failed in Docker:

So... what is the actual value for the mongodb container? Maybe try something more explicit? Like the mongodb node's IP address?
"host": "10.0.0.5",
Otherwise... I don't do Docker so whatever goes on in those black boxes is a mystery to me....
@gotwf thanks for the reply, let me explain some of them:
"host": "node_db",
The name node_db is the name that I specified for database container, and the name node_site is I chose for NodeBB container (nodebb_site has files).
I tried both container's name and IP address of the container, but it seems there's another issue.
As IPs of docker containers may change if I restart the server (172.17.0.0/16), it's better to use container's name.
I also have changed bindIp option to bindIp: 127.0.0.1,172.24.0.4 and then try again but no luck. Also tried with bindIp: 0.0.0.0 but still no luck.
I grepped localhost in /home/nodebb/node_modules/mongodb/lib/cmap/connection.js and changed it to node_db, but still no luck.
I'm confused although connection is fine, where this authentication failed goes from and why.
I commented the lines related to security and authorization in mongod.conf, but no luck.
We use the mongo docker image in our CI tests through GitHub actions. Not sure how helpful this is for you.
