Problems with MongoDB trying to deploy a Meteor App

I have been setting up a server on a Digital Ocean droplet in order to host a couple of Meteor apps. I'm doing everything from scratch so I can learn as much as possible. I am trying to use "Meteor-Up" (mup) to deploy an app, but it is having problem communicating with MongoDB. When I run "mup setup" I get the following error:

Started TaskList: Setup (linux)

[Gibson] - Installing Docker: SUCCESS

[Gibson] - Setting up Environment: SUCCESS

But I can't get from this any indication of what's going wrong. Is the problem with Mongo, Meteor, mup, or docker?

EDIT:

So far I understand from the message that "mup" is trying to connect to Mongo on port 27017 and is failing, I just don't understand why or how to fix it. I have a database that I want the app to connect to, which I moved onto the server from my local machine using mongodump and mongorestore. The thing I can't solve is how to connect my meteor app to that mongo DB.

It does not just try to connect to mongod, but it installs mongod in a container and tries to bind port 27017 to local interface.

If you already have mongodb installed and prefer to use it instead, you need to disable installation of mongodb in mup.js, mup.json, or whatever configuration file is being used in your version of mup.
