TL;DR

console
docker run --name mongodb-exporter REGISTRY_NAME/bitnami/mongodb-exporter:latest

Note: You need to substitute the REGISTRY_NAME placeholder with a reference to your container registry.

Why use a non-root container?

Non-root container images add an extra layer of security and are generally recommended for production environments. However, because they run as a non-root user, privileged tasks are typically off-limits. Learn more about non-root containers https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-tanzu/application-catalog/tanzu-application-catalog/services/tac-doc/apps-tutorials-work-with-non-root-containers-index.html.

Supported tags and respective Dockerfile links

Get this image

The recommended way to get the Bitnami MongoDB Exporter Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/mongodb-exporter.

console
docker pull REGISTRY_NAME/bitnami/mongodb-exporter:latest

To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/mongodb-exporter/tags/ in the Docker Hub Registry.

console
docker pull REGISTRY_NAME/bitnami/mongodb-exporter:[TAG]

If you wish, you can also build the image yourself by cloning the repository, changing to the directory containing the Dockerfile and executing the docker build command. Remember to replace the APP, VERSION and OPERATING-SYSTEM path placeholders in the example command below with the correct values.

console
git clone https://github.com/bitnami/containers.git
cd bitnami/APP/VERSION/OPERATING-SYSTEM
docker build -t REGISTRY_NAME/bitnami/APP:latest .

Connecting to other containers

Using https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/networking/, a different server running inside a container can easily be accessed by your application containers and vice-versa.

Containers attached to the same network can communicate with each other using the container name as the hostname.

Using the Command Line

Step 1: Create a network

console
docker network create mongodb-exporter-network --driver bridge

Step 2: Launch the mongodb-exporter container within your network

Use the --network <NETWORK> argument to the docker run command to attach the container to the mongodb-exporter-network network.

console
docker run --name mongodb-exporter-node1 --network mongodb-exporter-network REGISTRY_NAME/bitnami/mongodb-exporter:latest

Step 3: Run another containers

We can launch another containers using the same flag (--network NETWORK) in the docker run command. If you also set a name to your container, you will be able to use it as hostname in your network.

Configuration

Find all the configuration options in the https://github.com/percona/mongodb_exporter#flags.

FIPS configuration in Bitnami Secure Images

The Bitnami MongoDB Exporter Docker image from the https://go-vmware.broadcom.com/contact-us catalog includes extra features and settings to configure the container with FIPS capabilities. You can configure the next environment variables:

• OPENSSL_FIPS: whether OpenSSL runs in FIPS mode or not. yes (default), no.
• GODEBUG: controls Go FIPS mode. Use fips140=only (restricted), fips140=on (relaxed), or fips140=off (disabled).

Logging

The Bitnami MongoDB Exporter Docker image sends the container logs to stdout. To view the logs:

console
docker logs mongodb-exporter

You can configure the containers https://docs.docker.com/engine/admin/logging/overview/ using the --log-driver option if you wish to consume the container logs differently. In the default configuration docker uses the json-file driver.
