docker-compose.yml mongo-latest: launch a MongoDB server with a volume attached to persist data across sessions

docker-compose.yml

mongo-latest:
  image: mongo
  ports:
    - "27017:27017"
  volumes:
    - mongo-data-latest:/data/db

# - `docker-compose up' to start MongoDB attached to the console, or `.. start' detached
# - Connect with `docker-compose run mongo-latest mongo HOSTIP/DBNAME'
# - `docker-compose stop' to stop the service if it was detached,
#   otherwise just press Ctrl+C to stop
# - `docker-compose down' to shutdown and drop the container (the data will continue
#   stored in the 'mongo-data-latest' volume)
# - `docker volume rm mongo-data-latest' to drop the data from the volume (first
#   execute `docker-compose down')
# - `~/bin/docker-volume-cp mongo-data-latest mongo-data-latest-backup-DAY' to backup the
#   DB to a new volume
