How to do it...

1. Download the latest MongoDB Docker image:

docker pull mongo:3.4.4

1. Check that the image exists:

docker images

1. Start a container:

docker run -d -v /data/db:/data/db --name mymongo mongo:3.4.4 

1. Check if the container is running successfully:

docker ps

1. Let's connect to our mongo server using the mongo client from the container:

docker exec -it mymongo mongo

1. Stop the mongo instance and with host mode networking:

docker run -d -v /data/db:/data/db --name mymongo --net=host mongo:3.4.4 --bind_ip 127.0.0.1 --port 27000

1. Connect to the new instance using mongo shell:

docker exec -it mymongo mongo localhost:27000
