How To Install MongoDB 5.0 On Rocky Linux 8

On this short guide, we will learn how to install MongoDB version 5.0 Community Edition on Rocky Linux 8 operating system.

Introduction

Currently, the use of MongoDB in various applications has shown very rapid growth. Various applications that have adopted MongoDB include: fintech applications, various kinds of mobile apps, to heavy duty enterprise applications. In this article, we will discuss how to install MongoDB version 5.0 on the Rocky Linux 8 operating system.

MongoDB 5.0 Installation On Rocky Linux 8

There are any MongoDB Community Edition distribution for any platform, For Linux, OS X, and Windows. For Linux distribution, it has been provided MongoDB for various Linux systems, namely : Red Hat, SUSE, Amazon, Ubuntu and Debian.

Prerequisite

Before we go to MongoDB installation process on Rocky Linux 8, we need to prepare our environment as mentioned below :

  • Rocky Linux 8 System with sufficient disk space (minimum of 10 GB)
  • Non-root user with sudo privileges

The installation process will be consisting of several steps as mentioned below :

A more detailed explanation will be described in the following sub-chapters.

1. Enabling MongoDB repository

By default, MongoDB is not exist in the Rocky Linux 8 default repository, so we need to add it manually to the system. To perform this task, we will create a new file and using vi text editor as shown below.

$ sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-5.0.repo

Output :

[ramansah@otodiginet ~]$ sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-5.0.repo
[sudo] password for ramansah: 

[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

2. Installing MongoDB

On this stage, we will install MongoDB 5.0 community edition by executing following command line :

$ sudo dnf -y update
$ sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-5.0.repo

Output :

[ramansah@otodiginet ~]$ sudo dnf install -y mongodb-org

Complete!

3. Starting MongoDB Service

Once the installation is complete, then we will start MongoDB service by submitting following command line :

$ sudo systemctl start mongod
$ sudo systemctl enable mongod
$ sudo systemctl status mongod

Output :

[ramansah@otodiginet ~]$ sudo systemctl start mongod
[ramansah@otodiginet ~]$ sudo systemctl enable mongod
[ramansah@otodiginet ~]$ sudo systemctl status mongod

4. Interacting With MongoDB

To interact with MongoDB, it provides a shell interface that allows us to access MongoDB shell. To perform this task we will run the following command from any terminal session on the server.

$ mongo

Output :

[ramansah@otodiginet ~]$ mongo
MongoDB shell version v5.0.3
connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/?compressors=disabled&gssapiServiceName=mongodb
Implicit session: session { "id" : UUID("d73f147f-0587-4c8a-8950-27ae63682efb") }
MongoDB server version: 5.0.3
================
Warning: the "mongo" shell has been superseded by "mongosh",
which delivers improved usability and compatibility.The "mongo" shell has been deprecated and will be removed in
an upcoming release.
We recommend you begin using "mongosh".
For installation instructions, see
https://docs.mongodb.com/mongodb-shell/install/

The shell command mongo has been replaced by mongosh since MongoDB verison 5.0.x. We will use the new shell as showing below.

$ mongosh

Output :

[ramansah@otodiginet ~]$ mongosh
Current Mongosh Log ID:	615fa16408a1f7461833aba9
Connecting to:		mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/?directConnection=true&serverSelectionTimeoutMS=2000
Using MongoDB:		5.0.3
Using Mongosh:		1.1.0

For mongosh info see: https://docs.mongodb.com/mongodb-shell/


To help improve our products, anonymous usage data is collected and sent to MongoDB periodically (https://www.mongodb.com/legal/privacy-policy).
You can opt-out by running the disableTelemetry() command.

4.1 Using MongoDB

At this stage, we will try to use default database (admin) and create a new user. To perform this task, we will run the following command lines.

test> use admin
switched to db admin
admin> show dbs
admin     41 kB
config  61.4 kB
local     41 kB
admin> show collections
system.version
admin> 


admin> db.createUser(
... {
..... user: "digimbadmin",
..... pwd: "passwordkoe",
..... roles: [ { role: "userAdminAnyDatabase", db: "admin" } ]
..... }
... )
{ ok: 1 }
admin> show users
[
  {
    _id: 'admin.digimbadmin',
    userId: UUID("b295dc6b-660a-4196-8443-64b5e34d9555"),
    user: 'digimbadmin',
    db: 'admin',
    roles: [ { role: 'userAdminAnyDatabase', db: 'admin' } ],
    mechanisms: [ 'SCRAM-SHA-1', 'SCRAM-SHA-256' ]
  }
]

Conclusion

In this short tutorion, we have learnt how to install and configur MongoDB 5.0 on Rocky Linux 8. We also discussed how to start, enable, and check the status of the MongoDB service as well as using the Mongo Shell interface to run commands to interact with a MongoDB database. I hope this article will be helpful.
