'Failed to connect to database: no reachable servers' using official docker image

[HeroS3c-new]

I get this error: Failed to connect to database: no reachable servers when using the official docker hub image.
command: docker run quay.io/activecm/rita import pcap_to_log

pcap_to_log is a folder that contains all log files generated from a pcap using zeek.

output of ls -l pcap_to_log:

Hello, please check out https://github.com/activecm/rita/blob/master/docs/Docker%20Usage.md

We recommend using docker compose in order to easily link together RITA and MongoDB.

You will first need a copy of the RITA configuration file. A copy can be found at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/activecm/rita/master/etc/rita.yaml

Next, edit that configuration file to ensure the internal subnets match your own. (See these lines) If you are using standard RFC1918 internal subnets, you may skip this step.

Then, grab a copy of the docker-compose file at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/activecm/rita/master/docker-compose.yml

Finally, run the following in the directory with the docker-compose.yml file:

export CONIFG=/path/to/your/rita/config.yaml
export LOGS=/path/to/pcap_to_log
docker compose run --rm rita import /logs dataset-name

That should kick off an import. From there, you can interrogate the data with commands like

docker compose run --rm rita show-beacons -H dataset-name

This does not work on my Kubuntu installation, I get Failed to connect to database: no reachable servers:

docker compose run --rm rita import /logs hunt

Failed to connect to database: no reachable servers

I have Docker version 24.0.5, and I have followed all the steps you provided (fetching config file and docker-compose.yml setting env vars with export). The default internal subnets should be fine for me.
I am using Ubuntu 23.04 (lunar) with kernel 6.2.0-33-genericand got the same issue running it without docker with a local mongodb, but I assumed it would work out of the box with Docker when fetching the correct mongo image.

Any idea what goes wrong here?

One thing that might be at play here is not having the Dockerized configuration in use, since a successful DB connection depends on resolving the database via a container name. RITA has two default configurations to choose from in etc/, and the difference is in the connection spec:
