self hosted mongodb

[craggy oar]

Hello, i'm trying to self host my db on the vps ubunto server..
may i ask is there is any way to do that in which me and the docker containers only can have access to that db? from the ip address maybe?
also what's the pros and cons of self hosting my db? what should i take care of before doing that.

please ping when there is reply

i don't even know if this is the correct channel for this kind of question

not really the right discord for it, there's way to dockerize mongodb I'm sure and use a docker network and not expose the db otherwise, lots of docker content/tutorials out there. The one thing you want to take care of is backups, regular & tested
