Step 2 — Run MongoDB or use Atlas

The app needs MongoDB. That is the database. The app Docker file does not start Mongo for you.

Pick one:

• Install MongoDB on this server, or
• Use a hosted Mongo (for example Atlas) and copy the connection URL

You will need a URL like:

mongodb://USERNAME:PASSWORD@HOST:27017/ai-notes-xyz?authSource=admin&directConnection=true

Keep this URL ready for the next step.
