Prisma1: Prisma Creating New Database in MongoDB

[MaxwellGover]

Describe the bug
Not sure if it's a bug but also don't understand why it's happening. I've got Prisma connected to my MongoDB but when I make any mutations, a new database is being created in MongoDB called default_default and data is being added there instead of the database I specified when going through the setup here

https://www.prisma.io/docs/get-started/01-setting-up-prisma-existing-database-JAVASCRIPT-a003/

Here is my docker-compose.yml

version: '3'
services:
  prisma:
    image: prismagraphql/prisma:1.23
    restart: always
    ports:
    - "4466:4466"
    environment:
      PRISMA_CONFIG: |
        port: 4466
        # uncomment the next line and provide the env var PRISMA_MANAGEMENT_API_SECRET=my-secret to activate cluster security
        # managementApiSecret: my-secret
        databases:
          default:
            connector: mongo
            uri: 'mongodb://host.docker.internal:27017/name-of-db'

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go through process for setting up Prisma w/ existing db https://www.prisma.io/docs/get-started/01-setting-up-prisma-existing-database-JAVASCRIPT-a003/
2. Try and add data via playground

Expected behavior
Expect data would be added to the db specified in docker-compose.yml

On the docker-compose file, you set up the Prisma container as follows:

version: '3'
services:
  prisma:
    image: prismagraphql/prisma:1.23
    restart: always
    ports:
    - "4466:4466"
    environment:
      PRISMA_CONFIG: |
        port: 4466
        # uncomment the next line and provide the env var PRISMA_MANAGEMENT_API_SECRET=my-secret to activate cluster security
        # managementApiSecret: my-secret
        databases:
          default:
            connector: mongo
            uri: 'mongodb://host.docker.internal:27017/admin'

You need to specify the database to use on the endpoint property of your prisma.yml file.

datamodel: database.prisma
endpoint: http://localhost:4466/app/alpha
databaseType: document

If you deploy to the endpoint above, Prisma will create the database: app_alpha. If you don't specify the path, the default database name is default_default

You will need to provide database in the config like so:

version: '3'
services:
  prisma:
    image: prismagraphql/prisma:1.23
    restart: always
    ports:
    - "4466:4466"
    environment:
      PRISMA_CONFIG: |
        port: 4466
        # uncomment the next line and provide the env var PRISMA_MANAGEMENT_API_SECRET=my-secret to activate cluster security
        # managementApiSecret: my-secret
        databases:
          default:
            database: name-of-db
            connector: mongo
            uri: 'mongodb://host.docker.internal:27017/name-of-db'

uri: 'mongodb://host.docker.internal:27017/admin'
note: 'host.docker.internal' is only useful for mac
