Answer 1

MongoDB version 3.4.4-r0 is located in Alpine v3.6 community repository and requires another packages like boost, boost-iostreams, boost-dev etc version 1.62.0-r5 to be installed. They are only available in Alpine v3.6 main repository. You just need to add that repository to alpine repository's list as well:

RUN echo 'http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.6/main' >> /etc/apk/repositories
RUN echo 'http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.6/community' >> /etc/apk/repositories
RUN apk update
RUN apk add mongodb=3.4.4-r0

RUN mongo --version

Answer 2

This is work for me

FROM alpine:edge

RUN apk add --no-cache mongodb

VOLUME /data/db
EXPOSE 27017 28017

COPY run.sh /root
ENTRYPOINT [ "/root/run.sh" ]
CMD [ "mongod", "--bind_ip", "0.0.0.0" ]

Where run.sh is:

#!/bin/sh
# Docker entrypoint (pid 1), run as root
[ "$1" = "mongod" ] || exec "$@" || exit $?

# Make sure that database is owned by user mongodb
[ "$(stat -c %U /data/db)" = mongodb ] || chown -R mongodb /data/db

# Drop root privilege (no way back), exec provided command as user mongodb
cmd=exec; for i; do cmd="$cmd '$i'"; done
exec su -s /bin/sh -c "$cmd" mongodb
