Installs MongoDB on RHEL/Ubuntu/Debian/SLES from community/enterprise repositories or alternatively from custom repositories.

The MongoDB module manages mongod server installation and configuration of the mongod daemon.

The MongoDB module also manages mongos, Ops Manager and the mongdb-mms setup.

• MongoDB packages.
• MongoDB configuration files.
• MongoDB services.
• MongoDB apt/yum/zypper repository.

If you want a server installation with the default options you can run include mongodb::server. If you need to customize configuration options you need to do the following:

class {'mongodb::server':
  port    => 27018,
  verbose => true,
}

To install client with default options run include mongodb::client

To override the default mongodb repo version you need the following:

class {'mongodb::globals':
  repo_version => '4.4',
}
-> class {'mongodb::server': }
-> class {'mongodb::client': }

If you have a custom Mongodb repository you can opt out of repo management:

class {'mongodb::globals':
  manage_package_repo => false,
}
-> class {'mongodb::server': }
-> class {'mongodb::client': }

Most of the interaction for the server is done via mongodb::server. For more options please have a look at mongodb::server. There is also mongodb::globals to set some global settings, on its own this class does nothing.

To install MongoDB server, create database "testdb" and user "user1" with password "pass1".

class {'mongodb::server':
  auth => true,
}

mongodb::db { 'testdb':
  user          => 'user1',
  password_hash => 'a15fbfca5e3a758be80ceaf42458bcd8',
}

Parameter 'password_hash' is hex encoded md5 hash of "user1:mongo:pass1". Unsafe plain text password could be used with 'password' parameter instead of 'password_hash'.

If one plans to configure sharding for a Mongo deployment, the module offer the mongos installation. mongos can be installed the following way :

class {'mongodb::mongos' :
  configdb => ['configsvr1.example.com:27018'],
}

To install Ops Manager and have it run with a local MongoDB application server do the following:

class {'mongodb::opsmanager':
  opsmanager_url        => 'http://opsmanager.yourdomain.com'
  mongo_uri             => 'mongodb://yourmongocluster:27017,
  from_email_addr       => '[email protected]',
  reply_to_email_addr   => '[email protected]',
  admin_email_addr      => '[email protected]',
  $smtp_server_hostname => 'email-relay.yourdomain.com'
}

The default settings will not set useful email addresses. You can also just run include mongodb::opsmanager and then set the emails later.

Most of the interaction for the server is done via mongodb::opsmanager. For more options please have a look at mongodb::opsmanager.

Look at metadata.json for tested OSes.
