Question

I'm testing learning locker which is based on MongoDB it's all inside a ubuntu14.04 docker https://hub.docker.com/r/hadyrashwan/learninglocker-ubuntu14.04/ . I got it to work but I can't start Mongodb automatically tried the repair command and changing the name in start service command to Mongodb or mongo but not working. but running Mongodb just make it start but I want to start it automatically not opening a terminal and leave it open so the system continues to work

Answer 1

If already you install the mongodb just uninstall based on mongodb config

Before going do all stuff first install mongodb server.

sudo apt install mongodb-server  

Then continue to install what mongodb config suggest you.

Once done your mongodb configuration you can go

sudo service mongodb start

Note: Its not mongod its mongodb
