The command "mongod --port ${port}" is used to start the MongoDB server on a specified port.
Here's what each component in the command means:
-
"mongod": This is the command used to start the MongoDB server process.
-
"--port": It is a command-line option to specify the port number on which the MongoDB server should listen for client connections.
-
"${port}": This is a placeholder for the actual port number value. The variable "port" needs to be replaced with a specific numeric value before running the command. For example, if you want the server to listen on port 27017, you would replace "${port}" with "27017".
Overall, this command starts the MongoDB server process and tells it to listen for client connections on the specified port number.
