Connect to mongodb running inside Docker

I am using Windows 10

I have installed Virtual Box

In virtual Box I have installed Ubuntu with network setting as Bridge Network

I am using Docker Toolbox for Windows to Start Docker

In Docker I have Mongodb container running at default port

I am doing all my development stuff inside Ubuntu installed in Virtual Box

Here is my Terminal Log 

$ docker-machine ls
NAME      ACTIVE   DRIVER       STATE     URL                         SWARM   DOCKER        ERRORS
default   *        virtualbox   Running   tcp://192.168.99.100:2376           v17.06.0-ce


$ docker-machine env
export DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY="1"
export DOCKER_HOST="tcp://192.168.99.100:2376"
export DOCKER_CERT_PATH="C:\Users\test\.docker\machine\machines\default"
export DOCKER_MACHINE_NAME="default"
export COMPOSE_CONVERT_WINDOWS_PATHS="true"
# Run this command to configure your shell:
# eval $("C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker-machine.exe" env)


$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
77427d4fc49b        mongo               "/bin/sh -c '/usr/..."   About an hour ago   Up 45 minutes                           mongo

Issue is I dont know how to Connect to this container running MongoDB globally say from Ubuntu running on Virtual Box

Edit 1:

You need to run your mongo container with port mappings

docker run -p 27017:27017 mongodb

And then you can access using 192.168.99.100:27017.

Edit-1

If you are connect it from another VM then make sure to add an adapter with common Host-only network lan. In most cases this would vboxnet1

Network Settings

And configure the network as below for your Ubuntu VM (make sure both docker VM and Ubuntu VM use the same)
