I have an app running on localhost:8080 and I have scp transferred my MongoDB dumped database to my ubuntu server and placed the dir in /var/lib/mongodb file.
My questions are:
Do I have to run mongorestore on this dir?
Also, after binding my droplet IP address what is the uri for mongo supposed to be? mongo//:<droplet ip/>:27017?
