Question

I have used mLab previously with below connection string. Now I am hosting my app in Google App Engine with my mongodb instance on Google Compute Engine using Bitnami. When I create a instance, I couldn't find the connection string.

mLab connection string: mongodb://username:[email protected]:29010/testdn

But know the username and password. what could be the connection string

what could be the connection string for Bitnami GCP Compute Engine VM instance.

username: root, password: test

Answer 1

The External IP of the instance is the host for the mongodb to connect. The connection string would be

mongodb://username:password@<IP-of-the-instance>:27017/testcdn

NOTE:- Don't forget to open port 27017 from the VPC networks to access from outside the Compute Engine Instance like from your personal laptop
