My docker-compose.yml mongodb: command: is mongod --smallfiles --bind_ip_all

Try image: mongo:3.4

[reteps]

it did nothing. If I run the command mongo, it gives me an error though.

I modified docker-compose and set mongodb to mongod --blind_ip_all that worked.

[BennettStaley]

i believe you mean --bind_ip_all, but yes, that fixes the issue.

[reteps]

Why was this closed? A solution was proposed that I already tried, which didn't fix my issue.

[DeviaVir]

@reteps you have no mongo server running. Start a mongo server, try to connect to it using the mongo client, when that works, try zenbot again.

Or use docker-compose, whichever suits your needs better.
