MongoDB is an open source document-oriented NoSQL database system. It is used in many apps especially when it is a startup what should be cloud ready.
VMware's Cloud Found provides MongoDB out of the box and in time of writing this their Micro Edition proposes version 1.8.
To start develop with Cloud Foundry we need (it's recommended) to have the same versions of the services as on the cloud but locally.
Unfortunately Fedora 14 can propose only MongoDB 1.6, so we have to do the installation for the version 1.8 manually and there is a good description of steps we need - Use MongoDB to Store Application Data on Fedora 14 - but file locations will differ.
First ensure our system is up to date: yum update.
MongoDB will be installed in /opt/mongodb folder and data with logs will be in /var/lib/mongodb:
mkdir -p /var/lib/mongodb
mkdir data1
mkdir logs
touch /var/lib/mongodb/logs/data1.log
Create user mongodb with its home dir in our server folder:
useradd -M -r --home-dir /opt/mongodb mongodbAnd make it able to access our data folder:
chown -R mongodb:mongodb /var/lib/mongodb
Download and unarchive MongoDB:
cd /opt/ wget http://downloads.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-linux-x86_64-1.8.0.tgz tar xvf mongodb-linux-x86_64-1.8.0.tgz ln -s ./mongodb-linux-x86_64-1.8.0 ./mongodb
We linking actual directory to /opt/mongodb this will let us to switch between versions of MongoDB in case of a need in future.
Basic configuration of MongoDB is very simple. Need point to a listening address and set data and logs folders. Our configuration will be in /opt/mongodb/config/mongod.conf file:
# Configuration Options for MongoDB
#
# For More Information, Consider:
# - Configuration Parameters: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Command+Line+Parameters
# - File Based Configuration: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/File+Based+Configuration
dbpath = /var/lib/mongodb/data1
logpath = /var/lib/mongodb/logs/data1.log
logappend = true
bind_ip = 127.0.0.1
port = 27017
fork = true
auth = true
# noauth = true
Create service control script /etc/rc.d/init.d/mongodb:
#! /bin/shAfter this we can start MongoDB:
#
# mongodb – this script starts and stops the mongodb daemon
#
# chkconfig: - 85 15

# processname: mongodb
# config: /optg/mongodb/config/mongod.conf

user=mongodb
prog="mongod"
mongod="/opt/mongodb/bin/$prog --fork --config /opt/mongodb/config/mongod.conf"
RETVAL=0
start() {
echo -n "Starting MongoDB... "
daemon --user "$user" $mongod
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /opt/mongodb/$prog.lock
}
stop() {
echo -n "Stopping MongoDB"
killproc $prog
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /opt/mongodb/$prog.lock
}
restart() {
stop
start
}
case "$1" in
start)
start
;;
stop)
stop
;;
restart|reload|force-reload)
restart
;;
status)
status $mongod
RETVAL=$?
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|restart|reload|force-reload}"
RETVAL=1
esac
exit $RETVAL
service mongodb start
And checking if it works
cd /opt/mongodb/bin
./mongo
MongoDB shell version: 1.8.0
connecting to: test
>
MongoDB is up and running.
