Step 2.<\/strong> Click the “<\/strong>New Environment<\/a>“<\/strong> button at the top to open the environment setup wizard.<\/p>\n Step 3.<\/strong> Go to the VPS section at the bottom left in the wizard. Select “Ubuntu OS (Version 22.04)”<\/strong>\u00a0from the list of options.<\/p>\n Step 4.<\/strong> In the Vertical Scaling per node section, set 16 cloudlets<\/strong> in Reserved and 32 cloudlets<\/strong> in Scaling Limit.<\/a><\/p>\n Go to the Public IPv4<\/a> and click the Off button to assign a public IP address to Ubuntu VPS. After that, click on the Create<\/strong> button to set Elastic VPS with Ubuntu 22.04 OS.<\/p>\n Important Note:<\/strong> By default, the system will assign 1 cloudlet<\/a> to Reserved and 4 cloudlets to Scaling Limit. With this server configuration, you may face errors while installing MongoDB. A minimum of 8 cloudlets are required in the Reserved cloudlet<\/a> to install MongoDB on Ubuntu 22.04.<\/p>\n Step 5.<\/strong>\u00a0In a few minutes, your new environment with the chosen virtual server will appear on the dashboard. You will get an email with login details, including the public IP and access URL.<\/p>\n Step 6. <\/strong>You can connect to the container either from the SSH client, such as Putty<\/strong> or Bitwise,<\/strong> with the login details sent to your registered email address or directly through the browser using the Web SSH client.<\/p>\n Step 7.<\/strong> Here, we will use a Web SSH client to connect to any container and install MongoDB. Click the “<\/strong>Web SSH<\/a>“<\/strong> button to open the terminal next to the Elastic VPS.<\/p>\n Step 8.<\/strong> Once you click on it, the web ssh will be opened just below the environment.<\/p>\n Following these steps, you can easily set up and access your Ubuntu VPS on the AccuWeb.Cloud platform.<\/p>\n First, install the necessary packages:<\/p>\n To install the latest MongoDB package, add its repository to Ubuntu:<\/p>\n Update the package index:<\/p>\n Now, install the mongodb-org package which includes MongoDB:<\/p>\n To verify the MongoDB version installed, run:<\/p>\n This command displays details including the MongoDB version, Git information, and OpenSSL version.<\/p>\n After installing MongoDB, the MongoDB service is initially turned off. You can check this by using the following command:<\/p>\n To start the MongoDB service, use this command:<\/p>\n Check again to ensure the service is running:<\/p>\n From the output, you can verify that MongoDB is running. You can also confirm that the database is active and listening on its default port (27017) by using the following command:<\/p>\n If everything looks good, enable MongoDB to start automatically when your system boots up:<\/p>\n Now MongoDB is installed, running, and set to start automatically whenever your system starts up.<\/p>\n Now that MongoDB is running and set up for remote access, let’s create a database and user in MongoDB.<\/p>\n To access MongoDB, use this command:<\/p>\n Before entering the MongoDB shell, you’ll see details about MongoDB’s version, the MongoDB shell, and a URL for Mongosh documentation.<\/p>\n Above the Mongo shell prompt, a warning may appear if access control isn’t enabled for the database, restricting read and write access to data and configuration. This warning goes away once authentication is enabled.<\/p>\n After installation, MongoDB creates three databases by default: admin, config, and local. To list them, use:<\/p>\n To create a database, type ‘use’<\/strong> followed by the database name. For example, to create a database named ‘nicktest_db’:<\/strong><\/p>\n To confirm the current database, use the ‘db’<\/strong> command. Here, it will show ‘nicktest_db’.<\/strong><\/p>\n MongoDB offers various shell methods to manage your database. Use ‘db.createUser’<\/strong> to create a new user within a database. You’ll need to define the username, password, and roles in JSON format. Here’s how you can create a user named ‘nick’<\/strong> with read and write permissions on the ‘nicktest_db’ database:<\/strong><\/p>\n To list users created, use db.getUsers():<\/strong><\/p>\n Alternatively, use:<\/p>\n show users<\/strong><\/p>\n To delete a user, use ‘db.dropUser’<\/strong> as shown:<\/p>\n Confirmation should show { ok: 1 }.<\/strong><\/p>\n MongoDB does not enable authentication by default. This means anyone with access to the database server can see, add, or delete data, posing a serious risk to your information. To protect MongoDB, we’ll show you how to secure it on Ubuntu 22.04.<\/p>\n First, start by accessing the Mongo Shell:<\/p>\n Next, connect or switch to the admin database:<\/p>\n Now, create an administrative user by entering these lines and pressing ENTER:<\/p>\n Here’s what this code does:<\/p>\n After running the command, exit the Mongo Shell using exit or CTRL + C.<\/strong><\/p>\n With the admin user set up, the next step is to enable authentication. Exit the Mongo Shell and edit the mongod.conf file:<\/p>\n Scroll to the security section, uncomment it, and add authorization: enabled:<\/p>\n authorization: enabled<\/p>\n Save the changes and exit the editor. Apply the configuration by restarting MongoDB:<\/p>\n Check if MongoDB is running properly:<\/p>\n Now, log back into the Mongo Shell:<\/p>\n This time, you’ll notice that startup warnings have disappeared. However, if you try to perform any database tasks like viewing databases (show dbs), you’ll be prompted to authenticate.<\/p>\n![\"New](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/MongoDB-01.png\" "\\"New")
