In this howto we’ll setup and configure MongoDB server on Ubuntu 14.04 x64 (it’s only available for x64 LTS distributions). To begin we have to setup custom repository:
MongoDB installation
Add repo key:
[email protected]:~# apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 7F0CEB10
Create apt source.list config:
[email protected]:~# echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu "$(lsb_release -sc)"/mongodb-org/3.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.0.list
Update apt repo list and install MongoDB:
[email protected]:~# apt-get update; apt-get install -y mongodb-org
MongoDB access configuration
Now let’s setup access to MongoDB.
Run MongoDB shell and switch to admin user:
[email protected]:~# mongo MongoDB shell version: 3.0.5 connecting to: test Welcome to the MongoDB shell. For interactive help, type "help". For more comprehensive documentation, see http://docs.mongodb.org/ Questions? Try the support group http://groups.google.com/group/mongodb-user > use admin switched to db admin >
Create root user and exit the shell:
> db.createUser({user:"admin", pwd:"root", roles:[{role:"root", db:"admin"}]})
Successfully added user: {
"user" : "admin",
"roles" : [
{
"role" : "root",
"db" : "admin"
}
]
}
> exit
bye

Enable authentication in MongoDB config and restart MongoDB service:
[email protected]:~# sed -i "s/#auth = true/auth = true/g" /etc/mongod.conf [email protected]:~# service mongod restart
Test the connection to database with new credentials:
[email protected]:~# mongo -u admin -p root --authenticationDatabase admin MongoDB shell version: 3.0.5 connecting to: test >
That’s all, your MongoDB is setup.
