Ensure that you have a running MongoDB deployment before attempting
19+
to connect with ``mongosh``. The connection method you use
20+
depends on your deployment type.
21+
22+
Local MongoDB Instance on Default Port
23+
--------------------------------------
24+
25+
Run ``mongosh`` without any command-line options
26+
to connect to a MongoDB instance running on your **localhost** with
27+
**default port** 27017:
28+
29+
.. code-block:: sh
30+
31+
mongosh
32+
33+
This is equivalent to the following command:
34+
35+
.. code-block:: sh
36+
37+
mongosh "localhost:27017"
38+
39+
Local MongoDB Instance on a Non-Default Port
40+
--------------------------------------------
41+
42+
To specify a port to connect to on localhost, use the
43+
:manual:`connection string </reference/connection-string>` format.
44+
45+
.. example::
46+
47+
To connect to a MongoDB instance running on localhost with a
48+
non-default port 28015:
49+
50+
.. code-block:: sh
51+
52+
mongosh "localhost:28015"
53+
54+
MongoDB Instance on a Remote Host
55+
---------------------------------
56+
57+
To specify a remote host and port, use a
58+
:manual:`connection string </reference/connection-string>`.
59+
60+
.. example::
61+
62+
To connect to a MongoDB
63+
instance running on a remote host machine on port 28015:
64+
65+
.. code-block:: sh
66+
67+
mongosh "mongodb://mongodb0.example.com:28015"
68+
69+
.. note:: Connecting to |service|
70+
71+
If your remote host is a |service-fullname| cluster, you can copy
72+
your connection string from the |service| UI. To learn more, see
73+
:atlas:`Connect to a Cluster <connect-to-cluster/#use-the-connect-dialog-to-connect-to-your-cluster>`.
74+
75+
Connection Options
76+
------------------
77+
78+
Connect with Authentication
79+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
80+
81+
To connect to a MongoDB instance requires authentication, use the
82+
``--username`` and ``--authenticationDatabase`` command-line options.
83+
``mongosh`` prompts you for a password, which it masks as you type.
84+
85+
.. example::
86+
87+
To connect to a remote MongoDB instance and authenticate against
88+
the ``admin`` database as user ``alice``:
89+
90+
.. code-block:: sh
91+
92+
mongosh "mongodb://mongodb0.example.com:28015" --username alice --authenticationDatabase admin
93+
94+
.. note::
95+
96+
To provide a password with the command instead of using the masked
97+
prompt, you can use the ``--password`` option.
98+
99+
.. seealso::
100+
101+
- :manual:`Enable Access Control </tutorial/enable-authentication/>`
102+
to enforce authentication.
103+
- Add :manual:`Database Users </core/security-users/>`
104+
to provide authenticated access to a MongoDB instance.
105+
106+
Connect to a Replica Set
107+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
108+
109+
To connect to a replica set:
110+
111+
- If you are using the :manual:`DNS Seedlist Connection Format
112+
</reference/connection-string/#dns-seedlist-connection-format>`, you
113+
can include the ``+srv`` modifier in your connection string.
114+
115+
.. example::
116+
117+
.. code-block:: sh
118+
119+
mongosh "mongodb+srv://server.example.com/"
120+
121+
.. note::
122+
Using the ``+srv`` connection string modifier automatically sets
123+
the
124+
:manual:`tls option </reference/connection-string/#urioption.tls>`
125+
to ``true`` for the connection. You can
126+
override this behavior by explicitly setting ``tls`` to ``false``.
127+
128+
- You can specify the replica set name and members in the
129+
:manual:`connection string </reference/connection-string>`.
130+
131+
.. example::
132+
133+
To connect to a three-member replica set named ``replA``:
134+
135+
.. code-block:: sh
136+
137+
mongosh "mongodb://mongodb0.example.com.local:27017,mongodb1.example.com.local:27017,mongodb2.example.com.local:27017/?replicaSet=replA"
138+
139+
Connect using TLS
140+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
141+
142+
For ``tls`` connections:
143+
144+
- If you are using the :manual:`DNS Seedlist Connection Format
145+
</reference/connection-string/#dns-seedlist-connection-format>`, the
146+
``+srv`` connection string modifier automatically sets
147+
the ``tls`` option to ``true`` for the connection:
148+
149+
.. example::
150+
151+
To connect to a DNS seedlist-defined replica set with ``tls``
152+
enabled:
153+
154+
.. code-block:: sh
155+
156+
mongosh "mongodb+srv://server.example.com/"
157+
158+
- You can use the
159+
:manual:`tls option </reference/connection-string/#urioption.tls>` to
160+
set ``tls=true`` in the
161+
:manual:`connection string </reference/connection-string>`:
162+
163+
.. example::
164+
165+
To enable ``tls`` in the connection string:
166+
167+
.. code-block:: sh
168+
169+
mongosh "mongodb://mongodb0.example.com:28015/?tls=true"
170+
171+
- You can specify the ``--tls`` command-line option.
172+
173+
.. example::
174+
175+
To connect to a remote host with ``tls`` enabled:
176+
177+
.. code-block:: sh
178+
179+
mongosh "mongodb://mongodb0.example.com:28015" --tls
180+
181+
Disconnect from a Deployment
182+
----------------------------
183+
184+
To disconnect from a deployment and exit ``mongosh``, you can:
185+
186+
- Type ``.exit``, or
187+
188+
- Press ``Ctrl`` + ``C`` twice.
