Tip: A single node replica set is the fastest among others. That is the default mode for MongoDbReplicaSet. However, to use only it, consider the Testcontainers MongoDB module on GitHub

Getting it

  • Gradle:
dependencies {
    testCompile("com.github.silaev:mongodb-replica-set:${LATEST_RELEASE}")
}
  • Maven:
<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.github.silaev</groupId>
        <artifactId>mongodb-replica-set</artifactId>
        <version>${LATEST_RELEASE}</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Replace ${LATEST_RELEASE} with the Latest Version Number If you cannot find a release on Maven, please, use Jitpack

Run on Apple silicon

Use digests for linux/arm64/v8 and Docker Desktop for Apple silicon supporting host.docker.internal (should be in the OS host file). Examples: 1.

MongoDbReplicaSet.builder()
    .mongoDockerImageName("mongo@sha256:8a823923d80e819e21ee6c179eabf42460b6b7d8ac3dd5f35b59419ae5413640")
    .useHostDockerInternal(true)
    .build()`

Motivation

  • Cross-platform solution that doesn't depend on fixed ports;
  • Testing MongoDB transactions to run against an environment close to a production one;
  • Testing production issues by recreating a real MongoDB replica set (currently without shards);
  • Education to newcomers to the MongoDB world (learning the behaviour of a distributed NoSQL database while dealing with network partitioning, analyze the election process and so on).

General info

Click to see how to create a 3 node replica set on fixed ports via Docker manually

MongoDB starting from version 4 supports multi-document transactions only on a replica set. For example, to initialize a 3 node replica set on fixed ports via Docker, one has to do the following:

  1. Add 127.0.0.1 mongo1 mongo2 mongo3 to the host file of an operation system;
  2. Run in terminal:
    • docker network create mongo-cluster
    • docker run --name mongo1 -d --net mongo-cluster -p 50001:50001 mongo:4.0.10 mongod --replSet docker-rs --port 50001
    • docker run --name mongo2 -d --net mongo-cluster -p 50002:50002 mongo:4.0.10 mongod --replSet docker-rs --port 50002
    • docker run --name mongo3 -d --net mongo-cluster -p 50003:50003 mongo:4.0.10 mongod --replSet docker-rs --port 50003
  3. Prepare the following unix end of lines script (optionally put it folder scripts or use rs.add on each node):
    rs.initiate({
        "_id": "docker-rs",
        "members": [
            {"_id": 0, "host": "mongo1:50001"},
            {"_id": 1, "host": "mongo2:50002"},
            {"_id": 2, "host": "mongo3:50003"}
        ]
    });
  4. Run in terminal:
    • docker cp scripts/ mongo1:/scripts/
    • docker exec -it mongo1 /bin/sh -c "mongo --port 50001 < /scripts/init.js"

As we can see, there is a lot of operations to execute and we even didn't touch a non-fixed port approach. That's where the MongoDbReplicaSet might come in handy.
