About Nosqlclient
Nosqlclient is a cross-platform, self-hosted MongoDB management tool, previously known as Mongoclient, aimed at developers and administrators who want a browser-based interface for inspecting and managing MongoDB databases rather than working purely from the mongo shell.
It supports MongoDB 4.0 and newer and runs as a web application, built with Meteor on JavaScript, that connects to an existing MongoDB instance or can install its own inside its Docker container. Settings and connections can be persisted by binding a data directory to the host machine.
The README states the project is no longer being actively developed, though Docker builds remain usable and the maintainer accepts email inquiries. Versions before 2.0.0 are licensed under MIT, while 2.0.0 and later versions are licensed under AGPLv3, so check which version applies to a given deployment.
