About

This repository contains automation to build MongoDB from source with no AVX requirement. The artifact generated is an x86_64 Docker container for Linux, and it is pushed to my own public AWS ECR space:

https://gallery.ecr.aws/alanedwardes/mongodb-without-avx

Since I need this for my own projects, I intend to keep the above repository up to date with the major MongoDB versions. I am not intending to build every single minor or patch version, though can build specific versions on request (raise an issue).

See the forked repository for the original Dockerfile, and a solution to build for non-Docker use cases.

Usage

The docker container includes the following binaries in /usr/local/bin/

mongod
mongos
mongo

The ENTRYPOINT is exposed as /usr/local/bin/mongod, so a docker-compose.yml file could be crafted like so:

services:
  mongodb:
    image: public.ecr.aws/alanedwardes/mongodb-without-avx:6.0.5
    restart: always
    container_name: mongodb
    command: --config=/etc/mongodb.conf
    volumes:
      - ./mongodb.conf:/etc/mongodb.conf
      - ./mongo:/data

The mongodb.conf in the same directory can specify settings such as:

# mongod.conf
# for documentation of all options, see:
#   http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/configuration-options/

storage:
  dbPath: /data
  directoryPerDB: false

net:
  port: 27017
  unixDomainSocket:
    enabled: true
  ipv6: false
  bindIpAll: true

replication:
  replSetName: rs0
  enableMajorityReadConcern: true

setParameter:
   enableLocalhostAuthBypass: true

security:
  authorization: disabled

If you need to set up a replica set on first run, you can use the mongo shell:

docker exec -it mondodb mongo

And then enter rs.initiate() as normal. You may need to explicitly provide the hostname configured against the container:

rs.initiate({
  _id: "rs0",
  members: [{ _id: 0, host: "mongodb:27017" }],
});
