Hi James,

If the database is running on the same host as the Charts Docker container but not in Docker container, depending on your Docker version you may try:

For Docker versions 18.03 and later:

• For Windows and macOS, use mongodb://host.docker.internal.
• For Linux, use the IP address of the docker0 interface. Normally, this address is 172.17.0.1.

For Docker versions 17.06 up to but not including 18.03:

• For Windows, use mongodb://docker.for.win.localhost.
• For macOS, use mongodb://docker.for.mac.localhost.
• For Linux, use the IP address of the docker0 interface. Normally, this address is 172.17.0.1.

If you still have a difficulty in connecting Charts to a datasource, could you please provide:

• MongoDB Charts version
• MongoDB server version
• Docker version
• Operating System and version
• MongoDB URI that you’ve tried
• Any error message that you’re receiving

Regards,
Wan.
