Database details for new server

[DEEPAK SAINI]

Hi nodebb community,

I am trying out nodebb for a project. I cloned the git repo, and ran docker-compose up. Then when I visited http://127.0.0.1:4567/, I see the message You are just a few steps away from launching your own NodeBB forum!, where I have to fill details to Configure the database. I am using mongoDB. Where do I get the details like

1. Host IP or address of your MongoDB instance: tried 127.0.0.1, ip of the mongodb container, mongo
2. Host port of your MongoDB instance: this is present in the docker-compose file and is 27017
3. Username
4. Password
5. Database name

I guess the last 3 can be left blank. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
P.S: Kudos to the nodebb devs for the clean code.

Seeing up NodeBB with docker isn't officially supported. I suggest you use the Ubuntu guide:

Ubuntu (Recommended) - NodeBB Documentation

(docs.nodebb.org)
