Answer 1

MongoDB version 3.4.4-r0 is located in Alpine v3.6 community repository and requires another packages like boost, boost-iostreams, boost-dev etc version 1.62.0-r5 to be installed. They are only available in Alpine v3.6 main repository. You just need to add that repository to alpine repository's list as well:

RUN echo 'http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.6/main' >> /etc/apk/repositories
RUN echo 'http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.6/community' >> /etc/apk/repositories
RUN apk update
RUN apk add mongodb=3.4.4-r0

RUN mongo --version

Answer 2

This worked for me... probably it will work for you as well

RUN echo 'http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.6/main' >> /etc/apk/repositories
RUN echo 'http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.6/community' >> /etc/apk/repositories

RUN apk update
RUN apk add mongodb=3.4.4-r0

VOLUME ["/data/db"]
WORKDIR /data
EXPOSE 27017

Use /data folder because it is the defult one. Other names will give you error.
