How To Install and Configure MongoDB on CentOS 7
In this article, we will learn how to install and configure the MongoDB on CentOS 7, MongoDB which is an open-source and free database (is a NoSQL database), means it is a document-oriented database, it stores the document which is similar structurally to JSON (in MongoDB it is called as BSON) with high availability, performance and auto scaling. Unlike the RDBMS, it doesn’t need any predefined database schema for adding the data to the database tables. We can alter the schema any point of time without disturbing the existing schema.
Prerequisites
- Centos 7 installed on the Linux Machine.
- A user with root user privileges.
Adding the MongoDB Repository
By default, the MongoDB repository is not in the CentOS 7 repository, we needed to add the MongoDB repository to the local machine.
# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org.repo Output: [mongodb-org-3.2] name=MongoDB Repository baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/$releasever/mongodb-org/3.2/x86_64/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=1gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-3.2.asc
Once we add the MongoDB repository to the local machine, we will the system so that the yum will pull check the repository information.
# yum update Output: Loaded plugins: fastestmirror base | 3.6 kB 00:00 extras | 3.4 kB 00:00 mongodb-org-3.2 | 2.5 kB 00:00 updates | 3.4 kB 00:00 mongodb-org-3.2/7/primary_db | 54 kB 00:01 Determining fastest mirrors * base: mirror.dhakacom.com * extras: mirror.dhakacom.com * updates: mirror.dhakacom.com No packages marked for update
Installing the MongoDB
As the repository details are updated on the local machine, we will now install the MongoDB using the yum command.
Below is the command to install the MongoDB.
# yum install mongodb-org Output: Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.dhakacom.com * extras: mirror.dhakacom.com * updates: mirror.dhakacom.com Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package mongodb-org.x86_64 0:3.2.11-1.el7 will be installed … … … ---> Package mongodb-org-mongos.x86_64 0:3.2.11-1.el7 will be installed ---> Package mongodb-org-server.x86_64 0:3.2.11-1.el7 will be installed ---> Package mongodb-org-shell.x86_64 0:3.2.11-1.el7 will be installed ---> Package mongodb-org-tools.x86_64 0:3.2.11-1.el7 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Installing: mongodb-org x86_64 3.2.11-1.el7 mongodb-org-3.2 5.8 k Installing for dependencies: mongodb-org-mongos x86_64 3.2.11-1.el7 mongodb-org-3.2 5.6 M mongodb-org-server x86_64 3.2.11-1.el7 mongodb-org-3.2 12 M mongodb-org-shell x86_64 3.2.11-1.el7 mongodb-org-3.2 6.7 M mongodb-org-tools x86_64 3.2.11-1.el7 mongodb-org-3.2 41 M Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Install 1 Package (+4 Dependent packages) Total download size: 66 M Installed size: 201 M Is this ok [y/d/N]:y Downloading packages: warning: /var/cache/yum/x86_64/7/mongodb-org-3.2/packages/mongodb-org-3.2.11-1.el7.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID ea312927: NOKEY Public key for mongodb-org-3.2.11-1.el7.x86_64.rpm is not installed (1/5): mongodb-org-3.2.11-1.el7.x86_64.rpm | 5.8 kB 00:01 (2/5): mongodb-org-mongos-3.2.11-1.el7.x86_64.rpm | 5.6 MB 00:01 (3/5): mongodb-org-shell-3.2.11-1.el7.x86_64.rpm | 6.7 MB 00:00 (4/5): mongodb-org-server-3.2.11-1.el7.x86_64.rpm | 12 MB 00:06 (5/5): mongodb-org-tools-3.2.11-1.el7.x86_64.rpm | 41 MB 00:06 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 7.3 MB/s | 66 MB 00:08 Retrieving key from https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-3.2.asc Importing GPG key 0xEA312927: Userid : "MongoDB 3.2 Release Signing Key <packaging@mongodb.com>" Fingerprint: 42f3 e95a 2c4f 0827 9c49 60ad d68f a50f ea31 2927 From : https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-3.2.asc Is this ok [y/N]:y Running transaction check Running transaction test Transaction test succeeded Running transaction Installing : mongodb-org-server-3.2.11-1.el7.x86_64 1/5 Installing : mongodb-org-mongos-3.2.11-1.el7.x86_64 2/5 Installing : mongodb-org-tools-3.2.11-1.el7.x86_64 3/5 Installing : mongodb-org-shell-3.2.11-1.el7.x86_64 4/5 Installing : mongodb-org-3.2.11-1.el7.x86_64 5/5 Verifying : mongodb-org-shell-3.2.11-1.el7.x86_64 1/5 Verifying : mongodb-org-tools-3.2.11-1.el7.x86_64 2/5 Verifying : mongodb-org-mongos-3.2.11-1.el7.x86_64 3/5 Verifying : mongodb-org-server-3.2.11-1.el7.x86_64 4/5 Verifying : mongodb-org-3.2.11-1.el7.x86_64 5/5 Installed: mongodb-org.x86_64 0:3.2.11-1.el7 Dependency Installed: mongodb-org-mongos.x86_64 0:3.2.11-1.el7 mongodb-org-server.x86_64 0:3.2.11-1.el7 mongodb-org-shell.x86_64 0:3.2.11-1.el7 mongodb-org-tools.x86_64 0:3.2.11-1.el7 Complete!
Once MongoDD is installed, we will now start the MongoDB services.
Below is the command to start the MongoDB services –
# systemctl start mongod
We run the below command to check the status of the MongoDB services.
# systemctl status mongod Output: mongod.service - SYSV: Mongo is a scalable, document-oriented database. Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/mongod) Active: active (running) since Fri 2016-11-25 14:09:25 IST; 12s ago Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8) Process: 9901 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/mongod start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) CGroup: /system.slice/mongod.service └─9912 /usr/bin/mongod -f /etc/mongod.conf Nov 25 14:09:25 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Starting SYSV: Mongo is a s...

Reload the MongoDB configuration
# systemctl reload mongod
Stop the MongoDB services
# systemctl stop mongod
Configuring the MongoDB No of Processes
By default, when we run the Mongo the no of processes is too low to 4096, so MongoDB will show the below error –
# mongo Output: MongoDB shell version: 3.2.11 connecting to: test Welcome to the MongoDB shell. For interactive help, type "help". For more comprehensive documentation, see http://docs.mongodb.org/ Questions? Try the support group http://groups.google.com/group/mongodb-user Server has startup warnings: 2016-11-25T14:09:25.553+0530 I CONTROL [initandlisten] ** WARNING: soft rlimits too low. rlimits set to 4096 processes, 64000 files. Number of processes should be at least 32000 : 0.5 times number of files. 2016-11-25T14:09:25.553+0530 I CONTROL [initandlisten]
To fix the no of process we needed to edit the file “20-nproc.conf” which is at “/etc/security/limits.d/”
# vi /etc/security/limits.d/20-nproc.conf Output: # Default limit for number of user's processes to prevent # accidental fork bombs. # See rhbz #432903 for reasoning. * soft nproc 4096 root soft nproc unlimited
We needed to change the 4096 to 32000
* soft nproc 32000
Once we change the value to 32000 we needed to restart the MongoDB services, below is the command to restart the MongoDB services.
# systemctl restart mongod
Creating the MongoDB Administrator User
Here we will create one user with username admin and with password “password123”, once we created the user we will check for the user list in the database.
# mongo
Output:
MongoDB shell version: 3.2.11
connecting to: test
> use admin
switched to db admin
> db.createUser(
... {
... user: "admin",
... pwd: "password123",
... roles: [ { role: "userAdminAnyDatabase", db: "admin" } ]
... }
... )
Successfully added user: {
"user" : "admin",
"roles" : [
{
"role" : "userAdminAnyDatabase",
"db" : "admin"
}
]
}
> show users;
{
"_id" : "admin.admin",
"user" : "admin",
"db" : "admin",
"roles" : [
{
"role" : "userAdminAnyDatabase",
"db" : "admin"
}
]
}
>In this article, we have learnt – How to add MongoDB repository to the local machine and install the MongoDB and we also learnt about how to change or increase the no. of process from 4096 to 32000 in the MongoDB configuration and how to create a admin user.
