I’ve got the MEAN stack droplet one-click image up and running, and I’d like to connect to that database via Robomongo to look at it in a GUI, but Robomongo keeps giving me errors that it can’t connect to the server. it doesn’t even make it to the authentication stage.
I’m pointing Robomongo to <my droplet’s IP>:27017, which has always worked for services like MongoLab.
