MongoDB

MongoDB is a NoSQL database program.

Installation

If no extra configuration is needed, you'll only use the following line to install and enable MongoDB. This will give you a mongodb with authentication disabled, listening on 127.0.0.1 and the database path to store the data is /var/db/mongodb.

...
services.mongodb.enable = true;
...

Warning: The default mongodb package does not provide pre-compiled binaries, and the package will be compiled locally. The alternate package mongodb-ce does however. You can configure the mongodb service to use this package with the following:

services.mongodb.package = pkgs.mongodb-ce;

Configuration

Here's an example with multiple options. Beware that putting your password in cleartext into the config should not be done. Please check Comparison of secret managing schemes for that matter.

services.mongodb = {
  enable = true;
  package = "mongodb-5_0";
  enableAuth = true;
  initialRootPassword = "YourSecurePassword";
  bind_ip = "10.5.0.2";
};
