adminMongo on Dokku

A repository to help you setup adminMongo on a Dokku server with basic authentication, to help you manage your dokku mongoDB databases from anywhere.

(It's not safe to expose it to the world, use a strong password, and use at your own risk, i take no responsability)

Installation

Clone the repo on your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/chamatt/dokku-adminMongo.git

Setup you authentication info on auth.json file (defaults to admin:admin):

{
  "username": "admin",
  "password": "admin"
}

Create an app on your dokku server, with whatever name you want (example: adminmongo):

dokku apps:create adminmongo

On your local machine, add your dokku server as a remote repository and push to it (change mydomain.tld to your domain):

git add .
git commit -m "Changed auth information"
git remote add dokku dokku@mydomain.tld:adminmongo
git push dokku master

Now it's ready to be used!

Usage

If you want to access a mongodb database hosted in your dokku server, you need to link this database to adminmongo, like this (run this from your dokku server):

dokku mongo:link yourdbname adminmongo

Then get the connection string to this db by running:

dokku mongo:info yourdbname

Its gonna look like this: mongodb://<db_user>:<db_password>@<db_host>:27017/<db_name>

Copy this string, go to: adminmongo.yourdomain.tld, login with your authentication info, and paste it on "Connection String", and add a new connection.
