Mongo API

A template web API for MongoDB in dotnet 5

Mongo

Set up a Mongo database, would suggest running with Docker.

docker run \
    -p 27017:27017 \
    -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME="root" \
    -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD="password" \
    -v /home/localpath/data:/data/db \
    --name mongodb \
    -d mongo:4.4.4

Make sure volume isn't bound to container before passing environment variables, otherwise root user won't be saved.

API

Add connection string in appsettings.json with user, password and host ip.
