  i think it's because you're passing a full connection string to the

  --db

  flag, when really, you should be passing the url and db name separately

  
  

  
  

  #!/usr/bin/env bash
  # Migrates mongo from source to dest
  
  set -eou pipefail
  
  # Set the following variables:
  SOURCE_HOST=mongodb://localhost
  SOURCE_DB=my-source-db
  DEST_HOST=mongodb://localhost
  DEST_DB=my-dest-db
  
  GREEN='\033[0;32m'
  NC='\033[0m'
  
  echo -e "${GREEN}> Dumping $SOURCE_DB from $SOURCE_HOST${NC}"
  mongodump --uri=$SOURCE_HOST -d $SOURCE_DB
  echo -e "${GREEN}> Restoring to $DEST_DB${NC}"
  mongo --eval "db.dropDatabase()" $DEST_DB
  mongorestore --uri=$DEST_HOST -d $DEST_DB dump/$SOURCE_DB
  echo -e "${GREEN}> Complete.${NC}"

  
  

  
  

  this is a script that we use to migrate a db from one place to another, so if you just look at the first half of the script, you should see how we would format this

  Thanks for the script @jmikrut !

  
  
  

  To answer my initial question for future folks looking at this, this is the command:

  
  mongodump --uri=$SOURCE_HOST -d $SOURCE_DB
  
  

  Where

  $SOURCE_HOST

  is the part in yellow in your Payload Cloud mongo connection string and

  $SOURCE_DB

  is the part in blue.

  
  
  

  Cheers! 🙌
