Shared Hosting for Everyone, imagined by developers, for developers.
Discovering the Public CloudMongoDB is a document-oriented noSQL database program.
In our example, we use the SSH access and consider the following information:
foo$HOME/mongodb/[foo] must be replaced by your account name.
foo@ssh:~$ mkdir mongodb
foo@ssh:~$ cd mongodb
foo@ssh:~/mongodb$ wget -O- https://fastdl.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-linux-x86_64-debian12-8.0.1.tgz | tar -xz --strip-components=1
foo@ssh:~/mongodb$ mkdir -p data log
Choose the package tgz and the platform Debian of the last version of the tarball.
Create a service with following details:
./bin/mongod --dbpath ./data/ --logpath ./log/mongo.log --ipv6 --bind_ip_all --port=27017/home/[foo]/mongodbPublic Cloud users will need to point the service to a port between 8300 and 8499 instead of the default MongoDB port.
The address to connect to the MongoDB instance will be services-[foo].alwaysdata.net:[port].
Replace [port] by the chosen port in the command.
Private Cloud users will need to open the port by creating a firewall rule if they want to access it from the external network:
| Title | Value |
|---|---|
| Protocol | UDP/TCP |
| Type | ACCEPT |
| Direction | Input |
| Hosts | <specify nothing> |
| Ports | 27017 |
| IP version | IPv4/IPv6 |
foo@ssh:~/mongodb$ wget -O- https://downloads.mongodb.com/compass/mongosh-2.3.2-linux-x64.tgz | tar -xz --strip-components=0
foo@ssh:~/mongodb$ mv mongosh-2.3.2-linux-x64/bin/* bin/
foo@ssh:~/mongodb$ rm -rf mongosh-2.3.2-linux-x64
foo@ssh:~/mongodb$ wget -O- https://fastdl.mongodb.org/tools/db/mongodb-database-tools-debian12-x86_64-100.10.0.tgz | tar -xz --strip-components=0
foo@ssh:~/mongodb$ mv mongodb-database-tools-debian12-x86_64-100.10.0/bin/* bin/
foo@ssh:~/mongodb$ rm -rf mongodb-database-tools-debian12-x86_64-100.10.0
All executables will then be located in $HOME/mongodb/bin.
Here, we will create the admin user following their documentation.
foo@ssh: ~/mongodb$ ./bin/mongosh services-[foo].alwaysdata.net:[port]
Current Mongosh Log ID: 6707c8c098d8f59e6efe6910
Connecting to: mongodb://services-[foo].alwaysdata.net:[port]/?directConnection=true&appName=mongosh+2.3.2
Using MongoDB: 8.0.1
Using Mongosh: 2.3.2

Replace mysuperpassword by the password of your choice.
You can then add the --auth option to the command for the service.
