How to install MongoDB in Plesk?

As an alternative, MongoDB can be deployed in local or remote Docker container:
Warning: Below steps are done on your own risk! Even being installed via Docker. MongoDB should still be managed manually, Plesk has no controls to manage it (creating DBs, etc.).
Note: Local Docker service is not supported on Windows and CloudLinux. For more information refer to the Plesk Administrator’s Guide.
