If you don&#8217;t have access to the root account, you can use an account with sudo privileges instead.<\/p>\n<p>Once logged in, make sure that your server is up-to-date by running the following commands:<\/p>\n<pre>sudo apt update\nsudo apt upgrade<\/pre>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-2-Installing-MongoDB\"><\/span>Step 2: Installing MongoDB<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ubuntu official software package repositories come with version 3.6.3 of MongoDB, but in this article, we will install MongoDB\u00a04.0 which is the latest available version. However, you can always check if a new version of MongoDB is available on their official website.<\/p>\n<p>In order to install the MongoDB 4.0 Community Edition on Ubuntu, we need to import the public key used by the package management system. We can do that with the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp:\/\/keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 9DA31620334BD75D9DCB49F368818C72E52529D4<\/pre>\n<p>Since we have the key imported now, we can add the MongoDB repository with this next line:<\/p>\n<pre>sudo add-apt-repository 'deb [arch=amd64] https:\/\/repo.mongodb.org\/apt\/ubuntu bionic\/mongodb-org\/4.0 multiverse'<\/pre>\n<p>We then update the packages list:<\/p>\n<pre>sudo apt update<\/pre>\n<p>At this point, the repository is enabled and packages list is updated &#8211; we can now continue with installing the MongoDB CE package by entering the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>sudo apt install mongodb-org<\/pre>\n<p>The mongodb-org-server, mongodb-org-mongos, mongodb-org-shell and mongodb-org-tools packages will be installed on your system as a part of the mongodb-org package.<\/p>\n<p>The MongoDB 4.0 Community Edition is now installed on the server. We then need to start the MongoDB service and enable it to start on boot.<\/p>\n<pre>sudo systemctl start mongod\nsudo systemctl enable mongod<\/pre>\n<p>To verify the MongoDB installation, we can check the connection status by typing the command:<\/p>\n<pre>mongo --eval 'db.runCommand({ connectionStatus: 1 })'<\/pre>\n<p>You should have an output similar to this:<\/p>\n<pre>MongoDB shell version v4.0.6\nconnecting to: mongodb:\/\/127.0.0.1:27017\/?gssapiServiceName=mongodb\nImplicit session: session { \"id\" : UUID(\"c806e0e1-ab30-4d41-b882-026c09d2893f\") }\nMongoDB server version: 4.0.6\n{\n\"authInfo\" : {\n\"authenticatedUsers\" : [ ],\n\"authenticatedUserRoles\" : [ ]\n},\n\"ok\" : 1\n}\n<\/pre>\n<p>Congratulations, you have successfully installed MongoDB on your server. The next step will go over configuring your MongoDB server.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-3-Configuring-MongoDB\"><\/span>Step 3: Configuring MongoDB<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We can configure the MongoDB instance by modifying the <code>mongod.conf<\/code> file, located in <code>\/etc\/<\/code>. We&#8217;ll use Nano to edit the file, but you can use your preferred text editor if you like.<\/p>\n<pre>sudo nano \/etc\/mongod.conf<\/pre>\n<p>In order to allow remote connections and better secure MongoDB, we will make some changes in the configuration file. MongoDB by default listens for connections on port 27017 on localhost (IP 127.0.0.1) only. In order to allow a remote MongoDB connection, you need to add your server IP address to the MongoDB configuration file. This is shown as an example below:<\/p>\n<pre>bind_ip = 127.0.0.1, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">your_server_ip<\/span>\n#port = 27017\n\nsecurity:\nauthorization: enabled<\/pre>\n<p>We also included an authorization option that will regulate user access to MongoDB databases. If the authorization option is not enabled, then each user will have access to all the MongoDB databases and can perform any action, which is a security risk. After we save the changes in the MongoDB configuration file, we need to restart the MongoDB service with the following command for the changes to take effect:<\/p>\n<pre>sudo systemctl restart mongod<\/pre>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-4-Creating-Administrative-MongoDB-User\"><\/span>Step 4: Creating Administrative MongoDB User<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since we configured the MongoDB server and enabled the authentication option, we now need to create an administrative MongoDB user account which will be used to manage the MongoDB instance.<\/p>\n<p>To access the mongo shell, type:<\/p>\n<pre>mongo<\/pre>\n<p>Next, we will use the following command to connect to the admin database:<\/p>\n<pre>use admin<\/pre>\n<p>Output:<\/p>\n<pre>switched to db admin<\/pre>\n<p>We will perform the following command to create a new administrative user called mongo_admin with the userAdminAnyDatabase role:<\/p>\n<pre>db.createUser(\n{\nuser: \"mongo_admin\", \npwd: \"<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Strong_Pas$w0rd<\/span>\", \nroles: [ { role: \"userAdminAnyDatabase\", db: \"admin\" } ]\n}\n)<\/pre>\n<p>And we will get this as output:<\/p>\n<pre>Successfully added user: {\n\"user\" : \"mongo_admin\",\n\"roles\" : [\n{\n\"role\" : \"userAdminAnyDatabase\",\n\"db\" : \"admin\"\n}\n]\n}<\/pre>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to replace <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">&#8216;Strong_Pas$w0rd&#8217; <\/span>with an actual strong password.
