MongoDB Atlas
MongoDB Atlas
is a hosted MongoDB service option in the cloud which requires no installation overhead and offers a free tier to get started.
Overview
Use this tutorial to install MongoDB 7.0 Enterprise Edition on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) using the zypper package manager.
MongoDB Enterprise Edition is available on select platforms and contains support for several features related to security and monitoring.
MongoDB Version
This tutorial installs MongoDB 7.0 Enterprise Edition. To install a different version of MongoDB Enterprise, use the version drop-down menu in the upper-left corner of this page to select the documentation for that version.
Considerations
Platform Support
EOL Notice
- MongoDB 5.0 Enterprise Edition removes support for SLES12 on s390x
MongoDB 7.0 Enterprise Edition supports the following 64-bit SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) releases on x86_64 architecture:
- SLES 15
- SLES 12
MongoDB only supports the 64-bit versions of these platforms.
See Platform Support for more information.
Production Notes
Before deploying MongoDB in a production environment, consider the Production Notes document which offers performance considerations and configuration recommendations for production MongoDB deployments.
Install MongoDB Enterprise Edition
Follow these steps to install MongoDB Enterprise Edition using the zypper package manager.
Install the MongoDB packages.
To install MongoDB 6.0, issue the following command:
sudo zypper -n install mongodb-enterprise
To install a specific release of MongoDB, specify each component package individually and append the version number to the package name, as in the following example:
sudo zypper install mongodb-enterprise-7.0 mongodb-enterprise-database-7.0 mongodb-enterprise-server-7.0 mongodb-mongosh-7.0 mongodb-enterprise-mongos-7.0 mongodb-enterprise-tools-7.0
You can specify any available version of MongoDB. However zypper upgrades the packages when a newer version becomes available. To prevent unintended upgrades, pin the packages by running the following command:
sudo zypper addlock mongodb-enterprise-7.0 mongodb-enterprise-database-7.0 mongodb-enterprise-server-7.0 mongodb-mongosh-7.0 mongodb-enterprise-mongos-7.0 mongodb-enterprise-tools-7.0
Previous versions of MongoDB packages use a different repository location. Refer to the version of the documentation appropriate for your MongoDB version.
Run MongoDB Enterprise Edition
By default, a MongoDB instance stores:
- its data files in
/var/lib/mongo - its log files in
/var/log/mongodb
If you installed via the package manager, these default directories are created during the installation.
If you installed manually by downloading the tarballs, you can create the directories using mkdir -p <directory> or sudo mkdir -p <directory> depending on the user that will run MongoDB. (See your linux man pages for information on mkdir and sudo.)
By default, MongoDB runs using the mongod user account. If you change the user that runs the MongoDB process, you must also modify the permission to the /var/lib/mongo and /var/log/mongodb directories to give this user access to these directories.
To specify a different log file directory and data file directory, edit the systemLog.path and storage.dbPath settings in the /etc/mongod.conf. Ensure that the user running MongoDB has access to these directories.
Most Unix-like operating systems limit the system resources that a process may use. These limits may negatively impact MongoDB operation, and should be adjusted. See UNIX ulimit Settings for the recommended settings for your platform.
Starting in MongoDB 4.4, a startup error is generated if the ulimit value for number of open files is under 64000.
Procedure
Follow these steps to run MongoDB Enterprise Edition. These instructions assume that you are using the default settings.
Init System
To run and manage your mongod process, you will be using your operating system's built-in init system. Recent versions of Linux tend to use systemd (which uses the systemctl command), while older versions of Linux tend to use System V init (which uses the service command).
If you are unsure which init system your platform uses, run the following command:
ps --no-headers -o comm 1
Then select the appropriate tab below based on the result:
systemd- select the systemd (systemctl) tab below.init- select the System V Init (service) tab below.
Uninstall MongoDB
To completely remove MongoDB from a system, you must remove the MongoDB applications themselves, the configuration files, and any directories containing data and logs. The following section guides you through the necessary steps.
This process will completely remove MongoDB, its configuration, and all databases. This process is not reversible, so ensure that all of your configuration and data is backed up before proceeding.
Stop MongoDB.
Stop the mongod process by issuing the following command:
sudo service mongod stop
Additional Information
Localhost Binding by Default
By default, MongoDB launches with bindIp set to 127.0.0.1, which binds to the localhost network interface. This means that the mongod can only accept connections from clients that are running on the same machine. Remote clients will not be able to connect to the mongod, and the mongod will not be able to initialize a replica set unless this value is set to a valid network interface.
This value can be configured either:
Before you bind your instance to a publicly-accessible IP address, you must secure your cluster from unauthorized access. For a complete list of security recommendations, see Security Checklist. At minimum, consider enabling authentication and hardening network infrastructure.
For more information on configuring bindIp, see IP Binding.
