While the newer [mongodb+srv://](https://www.mongodb.com/developer/products/mongodb/srv-connection-strings/) syntax for the MONGODB_HOST is supported, there are some tradeoffs:
- Query parameters in the URL will be ignored by the forum. Please use the provided configuration options instead.
- The username and password should form part of the URL in the format mongodb+srv://username:password@host/.
To debug the comments service, you are encouraged to mount the cs_comments_service repo from the host in the development container:
tutor dev start --mount /path/to/cs_comments_service
Once a local repository is mounted in the image, you will have to install all gems (ruby dependencies):
bundle install
