mongo-express container startup fails after I configured mongo-express

[harrisonhxy]

What happened?

I first referred to the doc method to add verification to MongoDB, and then encountered an error when configuring mongo-express based on the blog.
Also I can't access mongo-express by using my server ip:8081.By the way, I've opened up port 8081 in the firewall

What should I do to use mongo-express correctly to manage mongodb effectively?

Steps to Reproduce

1.I follow the doc,added validation，This is my docker-compose.override.yml configuration

2.After adding authentication for mongodb, I refer to the blog,attempt to add mongo-express

3.But I can't access mongo-express by way of my server ip:8081, and after checking the logs, I found that an error was reported

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome

I added the configuration ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_URL: mongodb://mongodb:27017 to docker-compose.override.yml and removed ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_SERVER as shown here

--But the mongo-express container still won't start, the logs show--:

Is it a problem with the ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_URL: mongodb://mongodb:27017 setting?

[ranfysvalle02]

Maybe try putting the authentication into the MongoDB Url, perhaps that could work?

# Using Connection URL with Credentials  
      ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_URL: mongodb://your_mongodb_username:your_mongodb_password@mongo:27017/admin?authSource=admin 

[harrisonhxy]

Jesus Christ! I finally got it to work after setting it to ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_URL: mongodb://mongodb_username:mongodb_password@mongodb:27017/admin?authSource=admin 🎉🎉 Thank you so much for your help!
