MongoDB Docker URI does not have hostname, domain name and tld

I am trying to connect to my local MongoDB Database that is on docker with nodejs. My component are:

.env file

MONGODB_USERNAME = 'accountUser'
MONGODB_PASSWORD = 'password'
MONGODB_HOST = 'mongodb'
MONGODB_DATABASE = 'mydb'

Code:

const uri = `mongodb+srv://${process.env.MONGODB_USERNAME}:${process.env.MONGODB_PASSWORD}@${process.env.MONGODB_HOST}/${process.env.MONGODB_DATABASE}?retryWrites=true&w=majority`;

    console.log(uri);

    const client = new MongoClient(uri);

Console Output

mongodb+srv://accountUser:abc123@mongodb/mydb?retryWrites=true&w=majority

Error

MongoParseError: URI does not have hostname, domain name and tld

What can I be doing wrong?

If the username or password includes the following characters:

: / ? # [ ] @

You should simply replace those characters.

How to connect to MongoDB Atlas from a NestJS Application:

  1. Under Deployment select Databases
  2. Click on your database instance
  3. Next to the name and status of the instance click Connect
  4. Click Connect your application
  5. Under DRIVER select Node.js
  6. Under VERSION select 2.2.12 or later
  7. Copy the full URI including all of the individual nodes and use that to connect instead

As D. SM said earlier you can't use a URI with +srv in it and rolling back the driver version is the only way to get a connection string generated without +srv.

1). Go to the database, click edit password and generate a new password.
2). Go to the database, click edit password and give only characters and numbers.

You are trying to use an SRV URI when you should be using an ordirary URI.

SRV URIs have the additional security requirements on hostnames (that it contains 3 components minimum).

Remove +srv from your URI.
