Deployment Overview of MongoDB on Server¶

Prerequisites and Basic Requirements¶

To ensure a successful deployment, the server must meet the following requirements:

• Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) or Debian.

• Privileges: Root or sudo access is required for package installation and service management.

• Network Access: The server must have outbound internet access to reach repo.mongodb.org and the official APT repositories.

File and Directory Structure¶

The application utilizes standard system directories for configuration and data storage:

Application Installation Process¶

The installation is performed using the APT package manager on Debian-based systems. The process follows these steps:

1. System Update: The local package index is updated to ensure all dependencies are current.

2. Dependency Installation: Essential utilities including curl and gnupg are installed.

3. Repository Configuration:

4. The MongoDB GPG key for version 8.0 is added to the system's trusted keys.

5. A dedicated repository list file (mongodb-org-8.0.list) is created, pointing to the official MongoDB multiverse repository for the specific distribution.

6. Software Installation: The mongodb-org package is installed along with several administrative utilities:

7. nano and vim (text editors)

8. htop (system monitor)

9. net-tools (networking utilities)

10. dnsutils (DNS lookup tools)

11. Service Initialization: The mongod service is started and configured to launch automatically upon system boot.

Access Rights and Security¶

• Service Management: The MongoDB service runs under the mongodb user/group for security isolation.

• System Tools: Administrative utilities like htop and net-tools are provided to assist in monitoring and troubleshooting server connectivity.

Databases¶

The deployment includes a standalone instance of MongoDB:

• Connection Method: Local socket or TCP/IP (depending on configuration).

• Storage Location: /var/lib/mongodb.

• Version: 8.0.

Application Update Instructions¶

To update the MongoDB application, perform the following steps via the terminal:

1. Update the local package index:

   sudo apt-get update
   

2. Upgrade the installed packages:

   sudo apt-get upgrade
