If your guys container is constantly reloading and raising "raise CalledProcessError(retcode, process.args, Command '['mongod', '--auth', '--bind_ip_all']' returned non-zero exit status 14." error, just make this adjust to the volume:

mongodb:
image:
container_name: mongodb
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
MONGODB_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: admin
MONGODB_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: admin
ports:
- 27017:27017
volumes:
- data_db:/data/db

volumes:
data_db:

it worked for me
