MongoDB is a popular open-source NoSQL database that provides high performance, high availability, and easy scalability. In this guide, we will show you how to install and configure MongoDB on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Whether you’re using a or another server provider, MongoDB is a flexible solution for managing large amounts of data.<\/p>\n
Before you begin, ensure you have the following:<\/p>\n
MongoDB is not available in the default Ubuntu repositories, so you will need to add the official MongoDB repository. First, import the GPG key:<\/p>\n
sudo apt update\r\nwget -qO - https:\/\/www.mongodb.org\/static\/pgp\/server-4.4.asc | sudo apt-key add -<\/code><\/pre>\nNext, add the MongoDB repository:<\/p>\n
echo \"deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https:\/\/repo.mongodb.org\/apt\/ubuntu bionic\/mongodb-org\/4.4 multiverse\" | sudo tee \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/mongodb-org-4.4.list<\/code><\/pre>\nStep 2: Install MongoDB<\/h2>\n
Once the repository is added, update the package list and install MongoDB:<\/p>\n
sudo apt update\r\nsudo apt install -y mongodb-org<\/code><\/pre>\nStep 3: Start and Enable MongoDB<\/h2>\n
After installation, start the MongoDB service and enable it to start on boot:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl start mongod\r\nsudo systemctl enable mongod<\/code><\/pre>\nStep 4: Verify MongoDB Installation<\/h2>\n
Verify that MongoDB is running by checking its status:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl status mongod<\/code><\/pre>\nYou should see output indicating that MongoDB is active and running.<\/p>\n
Step 5: Access the MongoDB Shell<\/h2>\n
To start using MongoDB, you can access the MongoDB shell by running:<\/p>\n
mongo<\/code><\/pre>\nThis will bring you to the MongoDB shell, where you can run database commands.<\/p>\n
Step 6: Basic MongoDB Commands<\/h2>\n
Here are a few basic commands to help you get started with MongoDB:<\/p>\n
\n\n- Create a new database:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n
use mydatabase<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n- Create a collection and insert data:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n
db.mycollection.insert({ name: \"John\", age: 30 })<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n- Find data in a collection:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n
db.mycollection.find()<\/code><\/pre>\nStep 7: Secure MongoDB (Optional)<\/h2>\n
By default, MongoDB allows connections only from localhost. If you want to enable remote access, you need to edit the MongoDB configuration file:<\/p>\n
sudo nano \/etc\/mongod.conf<\/code><\/pre>\nFind the line that starts with bindIp<\/code> and add your server\u2019s IP address:<\/p>\nbindIp: 127.0.0.1, your-server-ip<\/code><\/pre>\nAfter making this change, restart MongoDB:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl restart mongod<\/code><\/pre>\nConclusion<\/h2>\n
By following these steps, you have successfully installed and configured MongoDB on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Whether you’re hosting your MongoDB database on a , Microsoft SQL VPS Windows<\/a>, or another Windows VPSVirtual Private Server Hosting<\/a> solution, MongoDB offers a scalable and flexible database solution for modern applications.<\/p>\n
