For initializing mongo with initial user-password-db triple and initdb scripts with only one docker-compose.yml, without any extra configuration, you can use bitnami/mongo image.
In my case, I didn't run my scripts under /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d directory in the container after setting environment variables; MONGODB_USERNAME and MONGODB_PASSWORD (specific env variables for bitnami image) because mongod runs with --auth option automatically when you set these variables. Consequently, I got authentication errors when the container was in the process of executing the scripts.
Because, it was connecting to: mongodb://192.168.192.2:27017/compressors=disabled&gssapiServiceName=mongodb
TERMINAL LOG OF THE ERROR
FIRST DOCKER-COMPOSE FILE:
version: "3"
services:

INIT JS FILE UNDER ./mongodb/scripts PATH:
let db = connect("localhost:27017/some_db_name");
db.auth("some_username", "some_password");
let collections = db.getCollectionNames();
let storeFound = false;
let index;
for(index=0; index<collections.length; index++){
if ("store" === collections[index]){
storeFound = true;
}
}
if(!storeFound ){
db.createCollection("store");
db.store.createIndex({"name": 1});
}
So, I decided to add new environment variables to my docker-compose.yml after inspecting https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mongodb/blob/master/4.2/debian-10/rootfs/opt/bitnami/scripts/libmongodb.sh file.
In this sh file, there is function like mongodb_custom_init_scripts() for executing the scripts. For executing all script files, it runs mongodb_execute() method. In this method, after mongod instance is up and run, mongo client is connecting to the mongod instance by using some parameters.

mongodb_execute() {
local -r user="${1:-}"
local -r password="${2:-}"
local -r database="${3:-}"
local -r host="${4:-$(get_mongo_hostname)}"
local -r port="${5:-$MONGODB_PORT_NUMBER}"
local -r extra_args="${6:-$MONGODB_CLIENT_EXTRA_FLAGS}"
local result
local final_user="$user"
# If password is empty it means no auth, do not specify user
[[ -z "$password" ]] && final_user=""
local -a args=("--host" "$host" "--port" "$port")
[[ -n "$final_user" ]] && args+=("-u" "$final_user")
[[ -n "$password" ]] && args+=("-p" "$password")
[[ -n "$extra_args" ]] && args+=($extra_args)
[[ -n "$database" ]] && args+=("$database")
"$MONGODB_BIN_DIR/mongo" "${args[@]}"
}
After that I added new environment variables to my docker-compose like MONGODB_ADVERTISED_HOSTNAME, MONGODB_PORT_NUMBER, and, MONGODB_CLIENT_EXTRA_FLAGS
So my final docker-compose.yml looks like:
version: "3"
services:
mongodb:
container_name: mongodb
image: 'docker.io/bitnami/mongodb:4.2-debian-10'
ports:
- "27017:27017"
volumes:
- "mongodb_data:/bitnami/mongodb"
- "./mongodb/scripts:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d"
environment:
- MONGODB_INITSCRIPTS_DIR=/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
- MONGODB_USERNAME=some_username
- MONGODB_PASSWORD=some_password
- MONGODB_DATABASE=some_db_name
- MONGODB_ADVERTISED_HOSTNAME=localhost
- MONGODB_PORT_NUMBER=27017
- MONGODB_CLIENT_EXTRA_FLAGS=--authenticationDatabase=some_db_name
networks:
backend:
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
mongodb_data:
networks:
backend:
driver: bridge
Now, it was connecting by this url:
mongodb://localhost:27017/?authSource=some_db_name&compressors=disabled &gssapiServiceName=mongodb
