Need some advice docting MongoDB

Question

I play with MongoDB and Docker, and at this moment I am trying to create a useful image for myself to use it at work. I created the following Dockerfile:

FROM mongo:2.6
MAINTAINER Reynier Perez <[e-mail]>
VOLUME /data/db /data/configdb
CMD ["mongod"]
EXPOSE 27017

And I added it to my docker-compose.ymlfile:

version: '2'
services:
    ### PHP/Apache Container
    php-apache:
        container_name: "php55-dev"
        image: reynierpm/php55-dev
        ports:
            - "80:80"
        environment:
            PHP_ERROR_REPORTING: 'E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_NOTICE'
        volumes:
            - ~/mmi:/var/www
            - ~/data:/data
        links:
            - mongodb
    ### MongoDB Container
    mongodb:
        container_name: "mongodb"
        build: ./mongo
        environment:
            MONGODB_USER: "xxxx"
            MONGODB_DATABASE: "xxxx"
            MONGODB_PASS: "xxxx"
        ports:
            - "27017:27017"
        volumes:
            - ~/data/mongo:/data/db

I have some questions regarding this setup I made:

• Do I need VOLUME /data/db /data/configdbto Dockerfileor is this enough to have this line ~/data/mongo:/data/configdbin docker-compose.yml?
• I assume (and I took it from here ) that as soon as I build a Mongo image, I will create a database and give full permissions to the user with a password, how about environment variables? I'm not wrong? (I did not find anything useful here )
• mongo ( JSON) , mongo? , mongorestore, ? script ? ? ?
