Docker Compose MongoDB Config /etc/mongodb.conf: Is a Directory

Question

I am trying to run a MongoDB container on a DigitalOcean droplet and so created a new dir with mkdir -pv mongodb/data then inside mongodb I created a new file with touch mongodb.conf then edited it with nano mongodb.conf so that it looks like this:

systemLog:
   destination: file
   path: "/var/log/mongodb/mongod.log"
   logAppend: true
storage:
   journal:
      enabled: true
processManagement:
   fork: true
net:
   bindIp: 0.0.0.0
   port: 27017
setParameter:
   enableLocalhostAuthBypass: false

I then used the same process to create a file docker-compose.yml Which looks like:

version: "3.8"
services:
  mongodb:
    image: mongo:latest
    container_name: mongodb
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
    volumes:
      - /mongodb/mongod.conf:/etc/mongod.conf
      - /mongodb/data:/data/db
    command: ["mongod", "--config", "/etc/mongod.conf"]
    ports:
      - 0.0.0.0:27017:27017

This makes the filesystem look like:

.
├── mongodb
│   ├── data
│   ├── docker-compose.yml
│   └── mongod.conf

When I then try running docker-compose up it gives the error:

mongodb    | grep: /etc/mongo/mongod.conf: Is a directory
mongodb    | error: unexpected "js-yaml.js" output while parsing config:
mongodb    | undefined
mongodb exited with code 1

I have also tried changing the command to: command: ["mongod", "-f", "/etc/mongod.conf"] but this gives a similar error:

mongodb    | Error opening config file: Is a directory
mongodb    | try 'mongod --help' for more information
mongodb exited with code 2

Any help to solve this would be appreciated.
