    First, find the container that runs your MongoDB and ssh into it.

    Then, find the collection you want to export:
    ```bash
    mongo
    show dbs
    use <database>
    show collections
    exit
    ```
    Then, run mongoexport command in the shell (not in mongo):
    ```bash
    mongoexport -d <database-name> -c <collection-name> --out output.json
    ```

    Then, on your local machine, copy the file from inside the docker container to your current folder:
    ```bash
    docker cp <mongodb docker container name>:/output.json .
    ```
    Don't forget the dot from the end.
