MONGODB STARTUP

• Install MongoDB

• Make sure noauth = true is uncommented at /etc/mongodb.conf (enabled by default, but just in case)

• Create admin user:

use admin
db.createUser(
  {
    user: "siteUserAdmin",
    pwd: "password",
    roles: [ { role: "userAdminAnyDatabase", db: "admin" } ]
  }
)

• Optionally (must in production), set auth = true and comment noauth = true at /etc/mongodb.conf

Quickstart

# Login into database
mongo whatever.domain.com:12345/mydatabase -u user -p pass

# Create new collection
db.createCollection("collectionName")

# Insert element in collection
db.myCollection.insert({ "_id": 0, ... })
