MongoDB, Getting Started and Connecting with Compass

Question

I'm trying to connect to my mongoDB running as a service on my rPi3B+, using openSuse Tumbleweed 64bit, mongo version 3.6.2, from my laptop sharing the same LAN/Wifi (pi on LAN & laptop on Wifi).

I completed this install guide(https://www.osradar.com/install-mongodb-opensuse-15/) directly after a fresh install of the rPi3 JeOS image provided here: https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Raspberry_Pi3

Now when I tried to connect to the db service using compass using the same IP I used to connect to the Pi over ssh, and the standard port of 27017. It then reports "MongoDB not running on the provided host and port".

However, I have the shell running on the Pi at the same time, and when I exit the shell so that compass is the only client attempting a connection. When I run sudo systemctl status mongodb the service is active.

When I run netstat -lntu I get the following output:

udp6       0      0 :::123                  :::*     

When I ping the Pi's IP address using the local IP I get the expected returns showing that it is reachable.

Are there some settings I need to change from within the shell to make it reachable by Compass?

Alrighty, I guess this was a noob question.

Pretty sure many of their different methods would work. For some reason mongo --bind_ip_all didn't work for me and seems like the simplest. I think it has something to do with openSuse's arm version doesn't use mongod and instead just mongo.

What worked for me was going into my '/etc/mongodb.conf' file and changing the boundIP from 127.0.0.1,::1 to 0.0.0.0,::1

Not to sure what the ::1 is for but I can connect to the db with compass now.
