How to Install and Configure MongoDB on Oracle Linux 8.8

To Install And Configure MongoDB On Oracle Linux 8.8

Introduction

MongoDB is a NoSQL database that provides high performance, high availability, and automatic scaling. NoSQL database means it does not support SQL to retrieve or manipulate the stored data. MongoDB doesn’t store data in tables instead it stores data in a document structure similar to JSON.

Installation Steps:

Step 1: Check the Oracle Linux Version by using the below command

[root@linuxhelp]# cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Oracle Linux Server"
VERSION="8.8"
ID="ol"
ID_LIKE="fedora"
VARIANT="Server"
VARIANT_ID="server"
VERSION_ID="8.8"
PLATFORM_ID="platform:el8"
PRETTY_NAME="Oracle Linux Server 8.8"
ANSI_COLOR="0;31"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:oracle:linux:8:8:server"
HOME_URL="https://linux.oracle.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://github.com/oracle/oracle-linux"
ORACLE_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT="Oracle Linux 8"
ORACLE_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT_VERSION=8.8
ORACLE_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="Oracle Linux"
ORACLE_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION=8.8

Step 2: Create MongoDB Repository by using the below command

[root@linuxhelp]# vim /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb.repo
[mongodb-org-5.0]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/$releasever/mongodb-org/5.0/x86_64/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-5.0.asc

Step 3: Install MongoDB by using the below command

[root@linuxhelp]# yum install mongodb-org

 To Create Database use the below command 
> use mydb;
switched to db mydb

To create a user for mydb database with read and write access 
> db.createUser(
... {
... user:"user1",
... pwd:"123456",
... roles:["readWrite"]
... }
... )
Successfully added user: { "user" : "user1", "roles" : [ "readWrite" ] }

List the mydb database users by executing the below command
> db.getUsers();
[
	{
		"_id" : "mydb.user1",
		"userId" : UUID("83757547-4853-46e5-9c35-8f0cfa49e5f2"),

				"db" : "mydb"
			}
		],
		"mechanisms" : [
			"SCRAM-SHA-1",
			"SCRAM-SHA-256"
		]
	}
]
To Drop a User
> db.dropUser('user1')
true

Drop the newly created database as follows
> db.dropDatabase()
{ "ok" : 1 }
