All I want to do is install MongoDB Community Version on our Debian VM in Google Cloud Platform and insert any element in the database. (Don't want to use the preinstalled packages/ programs for sale on Google Cloud Platform).
I have been stuck on trying just to insert anything into mongodb. I dont know if it I installed something incorrectly or if my code is off (or if Google has restriction). I don't know what the problem is. If someone is kind enough to help out, I would really really appreciate it.
It is really long. Please if you have time, please help...
I followed the MongoDB installation first from:

Here is what I did, from beginning to end.

- Upload file to /etc and /etc/init.d 
- forever start -c nodemon server.js
 
- Install MongoDB - cd /

- cd /var/www/html/backend
- npm install mongodb --save
 
- Opened Port 8080 and 27017 
============================================
2): The Relevant Code
So it seems that Mongodb is running and is connected. But when I want to insert data, the connection is disconnected on NodeJS. I dont know why. Here is the important relevant code:
On click, send data via AJAX to Node JS
function loginAdmin(){
    //Get elements
    const txtEmail = document.getElementById('txtEmail');
    const txtPassword = document.getElementById('txtPassword');
    const btnLogin = document.getElementById('btnLogin');
    //When all input in fields are made
    console.log("clicked");
            $.ajax({
                url: ipaddress.concat(':8080'),
                type: "POST",
                data: {
                    txtEmail: txtEmail.value,
                    txtPassword: txtPassword.value
                },
                success:function(data){
                    console.log(data);
                    return false;
                }
            });
    return false;
}
Insert Data to MongoDB
router.post('/', function(request, response) {
    var txtEmail = request.body.txtEmail;
    var txtPassword = request.body.txtPassword;
    mongo.connect("mongodb://"+ ipaddress +":27017/test", function(err, db) {
        db.collection('user-data').insertOne("223");
        txtEmail = "mongodb connecte22";
        response.send(txtEmail);
        response.end();
    });
});
Success that connection with MongoDB:
