I am trying to access the mongodb running in a docker from my local machine however I am seeing this error message:

Error: couldnt connect to server localhost:27017, connection attempt failed: SocketException: Error connecting to localhost:27017 (127.0.0.1:27017) :: caused by :: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

commands tried to used to access mongo on my local machine:

mongo localhost:27017

mongo 172.17.0.2:27017(container's ip)

command used to run mongodb on docker docker run -d -p 27017:27017 mongo:latest

Please advice. Thank you.

Is your `docker ps -a` show that your container is working – YuTing Mar 24 '22 at 03:30
yes it is up, running. – qt.qt Mar 24 '22 at 03:31
Can you also try to connect it with `Robo 3T` or `MongoDB Compass` – YuTing Mar 24 '22 at 03:33
the port 27017 is open? lsof -i:27017 to check – Dolphin Mar 24 '22 at 03:55

@YuTing i could access from Robo 3T but using the Host's ip address. – qt.qt Mar 24 '22 at 04:10
