Hi there,

You can follow the steps on how to do that here:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-remote-access-for-mongodb-on-ubuntu-20-04

It is step number 2 that you need to complete in order to change the MongoDB binding from localhost to the server IP.

Hope that this helps. Best, Bobby
