Create Dump of MongoDB on Windows using Docker Machine
10 April 2016 - Docker
Recently, I have been doing some programming work using the MEAN stack (Mongo, Express, Angular, Node). I use a Windows 10 PC as my dev box and host my Mongo databases on Mongo Labs (mLabs) in Azure. I need to create dumps as backups. In this blog article I summarize how I do that with Docker Machine.
Docker Machine
First, get Docker onto your Windows box by using Docker Machine. At the day of writing, Virtual Box comes with Docker Machine automatically. I uninstall it after installing Docker Machine as I prefer to use my local Hyper-V instead.
Once you got Docker Machine, you can create your first docker host. As mentioned, I use Hyper-V for that. Therefore, I used the Hyper-V driver of Docker Machine. So the command looks something like this:
docker-machine create --driver hyperv defaultVerify that everything is up and running using docker info and docker pull mongo (pulls down the MongoDB image from Docker Hub).
Run mongodump in Docker Container
Now we can use mongodump inside a Docker Container to create our dump:
docker run --rm -v /opt/backup:/opt/backup mongo mongodump --host ds999999.mlab.com --port 42898 --db yourDb --username your_user --password y0urP@ssw0rd! --out /opt/backup/mongo-backup
Use FileZilla to transfer the dump
Last but not least you can use FileZilla to transfer the dump from your Docker Host to your Windows box. Here are the settings you need:
- Server: Get the IP address by using the command docker-machine ls
- Protocol: SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol
- User: docker
- Logon Type: Key file
- Key File: C:\Users\your.user\.docker\machine\machines\default\id_rsa
That's it. Three simple steps and you have your Mongo dump on your Windows dev box.

Tomorrow, I will do a session at a high school for computer science. They asked me to speak about Docker container and related technologies like Kubernetes. In the session, I want to highlight that containers are not just VMs. So I decided to build a tiny, tiny Docker image using assembler language.
