MongoDB plugin for Dokku

Plugin to setup Mongodb accounts for containers deployed to Dokku

Installation

git clone https://github.com/dswaby/dokku-mongodb-plugin.git /var/lib/dokku/plugins/mongodb
dokku plugins-install

Commands

$ dokku help
     mongodb:create <app>   Create a Mongo database
     mongodb:delete <app>   Delete specified Mongo database
     mongodb:list           List all databases
     mongodb:console        Launch a mongodb console as admin

Simple usage

You need to have app running with the same name!

Create a new DB:

$ dokku mongodb:create foo            # Server side
$ ssh dokku@server mongodb:create foo # Client side

    {
        "_id" : ObjectId("524c90dc45addf0edad783a2"),
        "user" : "foo",
        "readOnly" : false,
        "pwd" : "825ec0deacccb3c6bb621d84153e5877"
    }

Now if you push your app again, you will have the following ENV variables:

MONGODB_DATABASE
MONGODB_HOST
MONGODB_PORT
MONGODB_USERNAME
MONGODB_PASSWORD
MONGO_URL
MONGO_URI

These can be found using:

dokku config foo

Persistence

The Mongo DB data is stored outside the container on the host at $DOKKU_ROOT/.mongodb/data. Inside the container, this location is bound to /tmp/mongo and will be there. Since the data is stored outside the container, it will persistent through container restarts, and also be available to future revisions of your container.
