How to get a mongo shell running into the docker container

We can run the interactive shell by running the following command:

docker container exec -it MyContainerName bash

Note: From this command, you will be able to get a bash shell running into the cointainer.

Then, we must get the mongo shell as admin. Otherwise, you will not be able to see the databases and collections.

Run mongo -u "USERNAME" -p "PASSWORD" HOSTIP --authenticationDatabase "admin"

That's it. Now, you are able to run any command such as show dbs.
