MongoDB does not require authentication by default, but it can be configured to do so. For more details about the functionality described here, please see the sections in the official documentation which describe [authentication](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/authentication/) and [authorization](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/authorization/) in more detail.

#### Add the Initial Admin User via environment variables

```console
$ docker run -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=user -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=password mongo
```

This automatically adds the `--auth` flag when starting mongod.


#### Start the Database

```console
$ docker run --name some-mongo -d mongo --auth
```
