Connecting to MongoDB with GUI tool like Robo 3T or Mongo Compass
miketamis
Hey,
Im wondering how I can connect via a GUI tool like Robo 3T or Mongo Compass to have a look in the database.
Im able to tunnel into the database and use the mongo cli like so:
% platform tunnel:open
% mongo mongodb://main:main@localhost:30000/main
^ this works
% mongodump --port 30000 -u main -p main --authenticationDatabase main --db main
2020-04-26T13:02:47.152+1200 writing main.startrek to
2020-04-26T13:02:47.302+1200 done dumping main.startrek (108 documents)
^ this also works
but if I try to connect via a GUI tool it doesn’t, I’m unsure what I’m doing wrong because the tunnel is working because I can dump the database through it, as well as query it through mongo cli, just not through a GUI tool.
