I see you have edited your OP so my answer makes less sense now.

You may have to build your own image to include the mongo storage plugin

See [Running under Docker : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/docker)

    },

```

From your logs I see you are running Node-RED 2.2.2 on NodeJS v14.18.2 in docker

I would suggest the first step is to verify the plugin actually works for Node-RED 2.2.2 & NodeJS v14.18.2 OUTSIDE of docker.

If it does work outside of docker, then I would start looking at your docker networking and checking `mongoURI` etc.

If it does not work even outside of docker (with these version of node-red/nodejs), then I would raise an issue on the repository (or fork and fix yourself)
