lapax/mongodb repository overview

⁠dockerfile-mongodb

single instance mongodb for dev purposes.. generic enough to be used for other purposes..

uses mongodb 2.6+

only installs mongodb-org-server and mongodb-org-mongos

⁠how to use

create a local directory for configs and dbs

create a config file without auth

that has at least the following contents

noauth = true

dbpath = /data/db

start a container with a mounted data dir

connect to the daemon using your local mongo shell (make sure the versions match) and create a user admin role - see http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/enable-authentication-without-bypass/⁠

stop the container

edit the mongod config file to enable authentication by changing noauth=true to auth=true

auth = true

dbpath = /data/db

restart the container

connect via mongo shell using user admin role created and create normal users - see http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/add-user-to-database/⁠

⁠TBD

options to start in master mode, slave mode, sharded mode with mongos etc.. although this can be done via passing the right commands to run during docker run
