Hey all
I haven’t found any rock solid guides for doing so, so I thought I’d make my own. Follow these steps and I will explain as best as I can.
To start off let’s install some dependencies to make sure everything will work (sort of mundane but just do it for the memes).
sudo apt-get install sudo nano -y
Now, we need to add MongoDB to our apt.
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 0C49F3730359A14518585931BC711F9BA15703C6 echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.4.list
Next, we update and install it.
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install mongodb-org -y
To make sure Mongo can work properly we need a systemd service setup.
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/mongodb.service
And in that file paste the following
[Unit] Description=High-performance, schema-free document-oriented database After=network.target [Service] User=mongodb ExecStart=/usr/bin/mongod --quiet --config /etc/mongod.conf [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
Okay, now we need to start MongoDB like so.
sudo systemctl start mongod sudo systemctl enable mongod
and you should see something like this
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/mongod.service
to /lib/systemd/system/mongod.service.
Now we need to add an admin user and set the password, replace admin123 with your own password.
mongo
use admin
db.createUser({user:"admin", pwd:"admin123", roles:[{role:"root", db:"admin"}]})
This step is optional, but if you want to enable security and allow database access from remote locations do this.
nano /etc/mongod.conf
And edit the following lines (see bold parts):
net: port: 27017 bindIp: 0.0.0.0
#security: authorization: "enabled"
And that’s it! Now restart Mongo for good measures and you’re done!
sudo systemctl restart mongod
