Starting MongoDB with this connection string mongodb://mongo-service:27017 is giving me this error.

The issue only happens for me when running on Kubernetes. Localhost is working fine.

ValueError: Port must be an integer between 0 and 65535: 27017

I couldn't find the reason in the docs.

As it is required by the Kubernetes manifest schema, Secret values must be encoded in Base 64, which I was doing like this:

$ echo 'mongodb://mongo-service:27017' | base64
bW9uZ29kYjovL21vbmdvLXNlcnZpY2U6MjcwMTcK

This was adding a line-break at the end, modifying the original string content, and breaking pymongo interpretation of the connection string. Tricky.

mongodb://mongo-service:27017

In my case the solution was to change to printf as pointed out in this answer:

$ printf mongodb://mongo-service:27017 | base64
bW9uZ29kYjovL21vbmdvLXNlcnZpY2U6MjcwMTc=

A new PR937 was created proposing a new message format which can outline this behavior.
