mongo-express is a web-based MongoDB admin interface written in Node.js, Express.js, and Bootstrap3.
$ docker run --network some-network -e ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_SERVER=some-mongo -p 8081:8081 mongo-expressThen you can hit http://localhost:8081 or http://host-ip:8081 in your browser.
JSON documents are parsed through a javascript virtual machine, so the web interface can be used for executing malicious javascript on a server.
mongo-express should only be used privately for development purposes.
Environment vairables are passed to the run command for configuring a mongo-express container.
