Getting a dump of a mongodb instance

Hey, I'm trying to get a dump of a mongo db.

mongodump --uri="mongodb://mongo:<password>@roundhouse.proxy.rlwy.net:<port>/<db>" --out dump20240421 --verbose

mongodump --uri="mongodb://mongo:<password>@roundhouse.proxy.rlwy.net:<port>/<db>" --out dump20240421 --verbose

It sort of starts doing something, but after 2 hours I don't see any more disk usage or any other proof that something is happening. What am I doing wrong? Btw. another option I tried was this:

mongodump <MONGO_URL> --authenticationDatabase admin --db lichess --out dump20240421

mongodump <MONGO_URL> --authenticationDatabase admin --db lichess --out dump20240421

But I got this error message

2024-04-21T10:07:14.590+0200    positional arguments not allowed: [<MONGO_URL>]
2024-04-21T10:07:14.590+0200    try 'mongodump --help' for more information

2024-04-21T10:07:14.590+0200    positional arguments not allowed: [<MONGO_URL>]
2024-04-21T10:07:14.590+0200    try 'mongodump --help' for more information

Solution:

I would recommend reading the documentation for mongodump as providing support for 3rd party tools is a bit out of scope unfortunately
