Description

A simple module for installing MongoDB on Ubuntu or Centos. This module sets up a root mongoDB user and turns on authentication. The username and password of the root using is given by $username and $password. This user will have access to all the databases that are on the server.

Usage

Simply include mongodb to install:

class { 'mongodb':
  local_only_access  => true,
  username           => 'opaluser',
  password           => 'opalpass',
}

Reference

::mongodb::install

class mongodb::install ($username='user', $password='password', $local_only_access=true, $authentication_database='admin')

This sub module installs and MongoDB package to the system and starts the mongod service. username is the username for the root mongoDB user and password is the password for the root mongoDB user. If local_only_access is true then only local connections to the database will be allowed. If the variable is false then all adapters will have access to the database. $authentication_database is the database that mongodb uses for authentication.

::mongodb::repository

class mongodb::repository

Installs the MongoDB yum or apt-get repo onto the system. Called by install

Limitations

Has only been tested on Ubuntu 14.04 and Centos 7. Does not set any root passwords for the MongoDB install. Does not install the MongoDB client.
