When starting my app, I get the following error:
error: MongoNetworkError: failed to connect to server [localhost:27017] on first connect [MongoNetworkTimeoutError: connection timed out

However, I can connect to the MongoDB service via MongoDBCompass and the Database connection tool in WebStorm, using the same connection string. "mongodb://localhost:27017/fmis"
I'm struggling to find the root cause to even try and solve it myself.
Update: as asked in the comments, I am running docker
I solved this by including the following in my connection configuration:
mongoose.connect(
db,
{
...
useUnifiedTopology: true //THIS SETTING
})
...
)
