Installing MongoDB

MongoDB is a document-oriented noSQL database program.

In our example, we use the SSH access and consider the following information:

• Account name: foo
• MongoDB directory: $HOME/mongodb/

Downloading

foo@ssh:~/mongodb$ wget -O- https://fastdl.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-linux-x86_64-debian12-[version].tgz | tar -xz --strip-components=1
foo@ssh:~/mongodb$ mkdir -p data log

Choose the package tgz and the platform Debian of the version 7.0 of the tarball.

Service launch

Create a service with following details:

• Command: /home/[foo]/mongodb/bin/mongod --dbpath ./data/ --logpath ./log/mongo.log --ipv6 --bind_ip_all
• Working directory: /home/[foo]/mongodb

Public Cloud users will need to point the service to a port between 8300 and 8499 and add the --port option to the command.

Firewall rule creation

Private Cloud users will need to open the port by creating a firewall rule if they want to access it from the external network:
