MongoDB + Docker + .NET: A Simple Local Development Setup

If you're working with MongoDB and .NET, Docker can make the local development setup much simpler.

Instead of installing and configuring MongoDB directly on your machine, you can run it in a Docker container and connect your .NET application to it.

I put together a practical guide covering:

  • Creating a MongoDB Docker container
  • Configuring MongoDB
  • Connecting a .NET Core application
  • Understanding the container-to-application connection
  • Setting up a consistent local development environment

For those using MongoDB locally, what's your preferred setup—Docker, local installation, or something else?

Just curious, why did you choose mongo:7 over mongo:latest? Or even 8 or 8.3?
