  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

  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! 🙌
