Set up authentication fails.

Set up authentication fails.

Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1:27017

You are getting this error because it takes a bit of time to start up mongo service. It seems people are using something like the following to avoid it:
Dockerfile:

FROM mongo:3.2.0
COPY setup.sh /setup.sh
RUN /setup.sh

setup.sh:

#!/bin/bash

mongod --dbpath /data/db &

RET=1
while [[ RET -ne 0 ]]; do
    echo "=> Waiting for confirmation of MongoDB service startup"
    sleep 5
    mongo admin --eval "help" >/dev/null 2>&1
    RET=$?
done

ADMINUSER=user
ADMINPASS=pass

echo "=> Creating an admin user in MongoDB"
mongo admin --eval "db.createUser({user: '$ADMINUSER', pwd: '$ADMINPASS', roles:[{role:'root',db:'admin'}]});"

mongod --dbpath /data/db --shutdown

However, after successfully building this image, and starting a container using this image with command --auth I can't seem to be able to connect to the database using user I created above. Anybody has idea why?

@tianon , your input would be very appreciated!

I agree would great to have a variable i could set to enable auth.

@xgdgsc, like #145? (Still fixing bugs added by this, which is why it is not documented).

Closing old issue, fixed by #145. Feel free to comment if you feel this was closed in error.
