Guidance on usage: MongoDB Server on Ubuntu 20.04

Connecting to MongoDB Server on Ubuntu 20.04 using Studio 3T through the SSH tunnel

To start the server, run the VM through Azure Portal.

For the connection to the server, you should know the IP address of the VM. You can find it in the personal account of Azure. (You need to select the virtual machine from the list. By clicking the item “Overview”, your IP is displayed in the line “Public IP Address”).

To work, you must open ports 27017, 27018, 27019, 27020 (TCP) in the network properties in the Azure firewall.

Go to the download page of Studio 3T

Choose which OS you want to download the application for

If the portable version was downloaded, unpack the archive “studio-3t-x64.zip” (if Windows was selected) and run the file studio-3t-x64.exe
When you start the app, the window with the creation of the connection opens. If this did not happen, click “File” > “Connect…” in the upper right corner.

In the “Connection Manager” window, click on “New Connection”

Select “Manually configure my connection settings” and click “Next”
