Step 3 – Install MongoDB on Ubuntu 22.04
The version of MongoDB 4.4, 5.0, 6.0, and 7.0 for which you have imported the public key and added it to the directory. Now, Simply type the command sudo apt install MongoDB-org on the Ubuntu 22.04 terminal, and the Mongodb installation will start:
sudo apt install mongodb-org
Now MongoDB needs to be enabled, which you can do:
sudo systemctl enable --now mongod
Step 4 – Configuring MongoDB
Now let’s talk about the configuration of mongoDB, for its configuration there is a mongod.conf file, which you can access with sudo nano /etc/mongod.conf command and in it you can make the configuration as per your choice:
sudo nano /etc/mongod.conf
Here we will just do the configuration to enable mongoDB by adding authorization:enabled in mongo.conf file
security:
authorization: enabled
Now restart the mongod service for changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart mongod
Step 5 – Creating Administrative MongoDB User
An administrative user has to be created for mongoDB, for this you can use mongo and admin commands:
mongo
Then type the following query:
use admin
The output will be:
switched to db admin
Now, execute the following command to create a new user named mongoAdmin, with password changeMe and userAdminAnyDatabase role:
db.createUser(
{
user: "mongoAdmin",
pwd: "changeMe",
roles: [ { role: "userAdminAnyDatabase", db: "admin" } ]
}
)
Once done, exit the mongo shell with:
quit() Step 6 – Restart MongoDB Server
