Take a quick look at how MongoDB works by following this simple tutorial. All you need is Docker—no additional installations required!
# Run mongo container, expose mongo port
$ docker run --name mongodb -p 27017:27017 -d mongodb/mongodb-community-server:latest
# connect to container to run mongo shell
$ docker exec -it mongodb
# Now, in the mongo container, run mongosh
$ mongosh
# when connected to mongosh, use `help` to show available commands
test> help
# list dbs
test> show dbs
# Create and switch to db blog if not exist
test> use blog
# Create collection (or `table`)
$ db.createCollection("posts")
# switch to admin db
$ use admin
# Show first document
$ db.system.version.findOne()
# Insert one docs
$ db.posts.insertOne({})
# Insert mutiple docs
$ db.posts.insertMany([ obj1, obj2 ])
# From your host machine, download sample csv 'citybike'
curl -o citybike.csv https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mongodb-developer/datasets/refs/heads/master/201912-citibike-tripdata-subset.csv
# Copy csv file to mongo container
docker cp citybike.csv mongo:/tmp/citybike.csv
# In mongo container, import sample data to test DB
$ mongoimport --type=csv --headerline /tmp/citybike.csv
# List some rows
$ db.citybike.find({}, {}, {limit: 1})
