I am creating a javascript meteor app from my localhost, but I would like my database to be stored on a separate aws server.
I am new to MongoDB and aws. I am wondering how I would go about connecting to my database from my local host?

That's as simple as starting your Meteor app with MONGO_URL env variable set to point to the Mongo instance running on your AWS machine.
Assuming you have already opened port 27017 on remote machine:
MONGO_URL=mongodb://addresshere.compute-1.amazonaws.com:27017/yourdbname meteor Answers 2
Per this link you might want to check 1) OS firewalls; 2) correct service binding to private IP address (if not, add your IP to the IP address whitelist ; 3) your Mongoose version if used. Use 'npm list mongoose' to find out the version, and update it to the latest version.
You can use Mongodb Atlas , a 'MongoDB as a Service offering available on Amazon Web Services (AWS)', to host your database(it has a free tier to start), and use MongoDB Compass to easily manage your data.

You can connect it using mongoose.
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect('mongodb://serverIpaddress/databasename', function (err) { if (err) { return "no" } else { console.log('connection successful'); } }); Answers 4
In order to be able to connect external mongodb over Internet. Following conditions should be met:
- mongodb should have routable public IP
- mongodb security-group should white-list your public IP
In case of mongodb don't have public IP (private network inside a VPC) it still can be accessed by your localhost using one of these methods:
- VPN to private network
- Site-to-Site between your office/home and AWS VPC
- attach an EIP to mongodb instance eni (if eni have public subnet routed via Internet Gateway)
- create an eni with public IP add attach it to mongodb instance
In any case - before you start write code: try to connect to mongodb by using telnet, netcat or some working mongodb client.
