[ MongoDB 2 ] Install MongoDB in Linux | Running MongoDB in Docker Container

[@OliverQueen-yu3ly]

Yo! Thanks a lot bro, I was getting so many error messages and your guide on arch helped out. It's working now. Thanks

[@justmeandopensource]

Hi Oliver, thanks for watching. Glad that you found it useful. Cheers.

Great tutorial! One comment so far: (Actually two!): When mounting a volume for the Docker container, make sure that you use an absolute path! Wrong: -v data:/data/db Right: -v ~/mongo/data:/data/db Or : -v /mongo/data:/data/db Docker doesn't notify you if you're doing this wrong! Other thing: When you skip right to the Docker Container part (21:50), at some point you'll be connecting to the mongodb with the mongo shell, just by typing mongo into the terminal... That's not going to work if you only have mongo inside the container and not installed it directly on your system. Solution to get into the mongo shell inside the container, type: docker exec -it [container-name] mongo

Hi Jorne, many thanks for watching and sharing your tips. Regarding your first point, I am not binding a local directory but creating a new docker volume which creates a directory under /var/lib/docker/containers/..... and mounts it. Example: $ docker run --name mongo -p 27017:27017 -v mongo-data:/data/db mongo will create a local docker volume named mongo-data and is not an existing directory that you are mounting. Do a "docker volume ls" and you will see the mongo-data volume there. I agree, if you want to bind mount a local directory, you need to specify absolute path. I totally agree with your second point and thanks for sharing the tip on how to use mongo inside the container. Cheers.

[@jornejongsma]

@@justmeandopensource Aha! Well I'm new to Docker so that makes it a bit more clear, thanks! I first tried your example and couldn't find the mounted directory. So after a google search I came across a few examples that where specific about using an absolute path. There was one Medium post that even gave the advice to create an extra container with that mounted volume, but not really use the container, to make sure that in case you'd remove your running container (and volume) it wouldn't be able to remove your local data with that action.

[@justmeandopensource]

@@jornejongsma Yeah. Removing the container won't delete the docker volume. You will have to "docker volume rm mongo-data" to manually remove it.

Hi Chethan, thanks for watching this video and taking time to comment. Cheers.

7:55 and also if you are on RHEL a family linux make sure to disable SELinux or set the rule that allows you to change dbpath

[@suvajitmca]

There there are severel mount points i want to use for mongod.conf for datapath...Do i just need to specify the path separated by comma? Like /u01/mongo,/u02/mongo?????

[@justmeandopensource]

Hi Suvajit, thanks for watching. I don't get your question. Please explain what you are trying to achieve and why and what steps have you done and what error are you seeing. Cheers.

[@suvajitmca]

@@justmeandopensource Hi,First of all big thubs up for all your vedio..So effective..please let me know how to put multiple dbpath in mongod.conf?

[@justmeandopensource]

@@suvajitmca Did you see my previous comment?

[@suvajitmca]

@@justmeandopensource Yes I saw..But I am not yet deployed, so there is no error.. Say for example in a server there are 3 mount point '/u01','/u02','/u03' and i want to put all the data in 3 storage space like '/u01/mongo-data','/u02/mongo-data','/u03/mongo-data'...My question is can I achieve this by simply add the datapaths in mongod.conf..---.dbpath:'/u01/mongo-data','/u02/mongo-data','/u03/mongo-data'.Will this works?

[@justmeandopensource]

@@suvajitmca Okay. You need a directory to store db data. This is configured in the mongod.conf configuration file for the variable dbpath. Each mongod is a single process that requires single dbpath directory. I don't understand why you would want to mount 3 directories.

[@manikandans8808]

Is was a nice one..I tried it many times with many flavours of Linux as well as the aws also..it's much interesting about the mongodb components you have explained in this video initially. And out of the box I have noticed the customisation of the desktop it was wonderful. Can you explain me how you customised ur apps without a toolbox?

[@justmeandopensource]

Hi Mani, thanks for watching this video. I am using Manjaro i3 edition. I3 is a tiling window manager. Simple and minimalist desktop environment. For the status bar at the bottom, I am using i3blocks with custom scripts for each items you see there. Thanks.

[@manikandans8808]

Actually I am running mongo on docker container.. Also I restored mongo database to server.... In server mongo all are shown like db, collection and data.... But in container of mongo they shown db, and collection only... In collection data is empty..... How I do migration..??

[@gulzadakasymbekova8918]

Hi! I have os Ubuntu. A try write on terminal “lxc list”, but terminal coudnt found this command. Why?

[@justmeandopensource]

HI Gulzada, you will have to install lxc/lxd first. You can watch my "Getting Started with LXC Containers" video at kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYjQnIaglKdgrdE where I explained how to install and use LXC/LXD. Cheers.

Hi, nice video. Thanks a lot. I tried to do this on my GoDaddy server. I'm getting no mongodb-org package available. Can you help me sort it out. Thanks in advance.

[@justmeandopensource]

Hi Karthick, thanks for watching. What OS are you using? You will need to set up repository as mongodb-org won't be available in default yum or apt repository.

Hi Atharva, I am using 5.2.11-1-MANJARO kernel. I don't use Gnome DE anymore. Switched to I3 long time back. I have done a video on my current desktop setup which will release shortly.
