Introduction
MongoDB is a free and open-source NoSQL document database used

commonly in modern web applications. This tutorial will help you set up
MongoDB on your server for a production application environment.
Prerequisites
To follow this tutorial, you will need:
One Ubuntu 16.04 server set up by following this initial server setup

tutorial, including a sudo non-root user and a firewall.
Step 1 — Adding the MongoDB Repository

MongoDB is already included in Ubuntu package repositories, but the
official MongoDB repository provides most up-to-date version and is the
recommended way of installing the software. In this step, we will add this
official repository to our server.
Ubuntu ensures the authenticity of software packages by verifying that they

are signed with GPG keys, so we first have to import they key for the official
MongoDB repository.
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv EA312927
After successfully importing the key, you will see:
Output
gpg: Total number processed: 1

gpg: imported: 1 (RSA: 1)
Next, we have to add the MongoDB repository details so apt will know
where to download the packages from.
Issue the following command to create a list file for MongoDB.
echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.2 multiverse"
After adding the repository details, we need to update the packages list.
sudo apt-get update
Step 2 — Installing and Verifying MongoDB

Now we can install the MongoDB package itself.
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
This command will install several packages containing latest stable version
of MongoDB along with helpful management tools for the MongoDB server.
Next, start MongoDB with systemctl.
sudo systemctl start mongod
You can also use systemctl to check that the service has started properly.
sudo systemctl status mongod
Output
● mongodb.service - High-performance, schema-free document-oriented database

Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/mongodb.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabl
Active: active (running) since Mon 2016-04-25 14:57:20 EDT; 1min 30s ago
Main PID: 4093 (mongod)
Tasks: 16 (limit: 512)
Memory: 47.1M
CPU: 1.224s
CGroup: /system.slice/mongodb.service
!"4093 /usr/bin/mongod --quiet --config /etc/mongod.conf
The last step is to enable automatically starting MongoDB when the system
starts.
sudo systemctl enable mongod
The MongoDB server is now configured and running, and you can manage
the MongoDB service using the systemctl command (e.g. sudo systemctl
stop mongod, sudo systemctl start mongod).
Step 3 — Adjusting the Firewall (Optional)

Assuming you have followed the initial server setup tutorial instructions to
enable the firewall on your server, MongoDB server will be inaccessible from
the internet.
If you intend to use the MongoDB server only locally with applications
running on the same server, it is a recommended and secure setting.
However, if you would like to be able to connect to your MongoDB server
from the internet, we have to allow the incoming connections in ufw.
To allow access to MongoDB on its default port 27017 from everywhere, you
could use sudo ufw allow 27017. However, enabling internet access to
MongoDB server on a default installation gives unrestricted access to the
whole database server.
in most cases, MongoDB should be accessed only from certain trusted

locations, such as another server hosting an application. To accomplish this
task, you can allow access on MongoDB's default port while specifying the
IP address of another server that will be explicitly allowed to connect.
sudo ufw allow from your_other_server_ip/32 to any port 27017
You can verify the change in firewall settings with ufw.
sudo ufw status
You should see traffic to 27017 port allowed in the output.If you have
decided to allow only a certain IP address to connect to MongoDB server,
the IP address of the allowed location will be listed instead of Anywhere in
the output.
Output
Status: active
To Action From
-- ------ ----
27017 ALLOW Anywhere
OpenSSH ALLOW Anywhere
27017 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
OpenSSH (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
More advanced firewall settings for restricting access to services are

described in UFW Essentials: Common Firewall Rules and Commands.

configuration in these DigitalOcean community articles.
