==How to install MongoDB==
 +
 
 +
{{Note box| Manual configuration required}}
 +
 
 +
MongoDB 5.0+ requires the AVX CPU instruction set
 +
 
 +
lscpu |grep avx
 +
 
 +
===Install Official Repository===
 +
 
 +
Use ExtraRepositories from here
 +
 
 +
https://wiki.koozali.org/Extrarepositories
 +
 
 +
Note that versions are available from 4.0/1/2/3/4 -> 5.0 -> 6.0
 +
 
 +
Please check which versions are deprecated - they should not be used.
 +
 
 +
https://www.mongodb.com/support-policy/lifecycles
 +
 
 +
As of July 2022 the oldest supported version is 4.2 until April 2023
 +
 
 +
yum install smeserver-extrarepositories-mongodb
   −
=== Install Official Repository ===
  −
db yum_repositories set mongodb repository \
  −
                BaseURL https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/\$releasever/mongodb-org/4.0/x86_64/ \
  −
                EnableGroups no \
  −
                GPGCheck yes \
  −
                Name "MongoDB" \
  −

                status disabled
   
  signal-event yum-modify
 
  signal-event yum-modify
yum install mongodb-org --enablerepo=mongodb
  −
if refuses to install because o GPG Key you can change '''GPGCheck''' above from '''Yes''' to '''No''' and try '''yum install...'''  again or
  −
yum install mongodb-org --enablerepo=mongodb --nogpgcheck
     −
===Start Mongo===
+
Install your chosen version:
  /etc/init.d/mongod start
+
 
 +
yum --enablerepo=mongodb4.2 install mongodb-org
 +
 
 +
If refuses to install because of no GPG Key you can change '''GPGCheck''' above from '''Yes''' to '''No''' and try '''yum install...'''  again or
 +
 
 +
rpm --import https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.0.asc
 +
 
 +
Or
 +
 
 +
  yum --enablerepo=mongodb4.2 install mongodb-org --nogpgcheck
 +
 
 +
===Starting Mongo===
 +
 
 +
{{Warning box|Please check additional notes below before trying this section}}
 +
{{Warning box| Complete work in progress - here be Dragons!}}
 +
 
 +
We need a db config entry for SME to recognise it:
 +
 
 +
config set mongod service status enabled access private
 +
 
 +
We will need a file
 +
 
 +
mkdir -p /usr/lib/systemd/system/mongod.service.d
 +
 
 +
nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/mongod.service.d/50koozali.conf
 +
 
 +
Something like:
 +
 
 +
[Unit]
 +
After=network.target network.service wan.service
 +
[Install]
 +
WantedBy=sme-server.target
 +
 
 +
===Configuration File===
 +
 
 +
Minimal config I use for Rocket.Chat
 +
 
 +
<nowiki>grep '^[[:blank:]]*[^[:blank:]#;]' /etc/mongod.conf</nowiki>
 +
 
 +
systemLog:
 +
  verbosity: 0
 +
  destination: file
 +
  logAppend: true
 +
  path: /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log
 +
storage:
 +
  dbPath: /var/lib/mongo
 +
  journal:
 +
    enabled: true
 +
processManagement:
 +
  fork: true  # fork and run in background
 +
  pidFilePath: /var/run/mongodb/mongod.pid  # location of pidfile
 +
  timeZoneInfo: /usr/share/zoneinfo
 +
net:
 +
  port: 27017
 +
  bindIp: 127.0.0.1  # Enter 0.0.0.0,:: to bind to all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses or, alternatively, use the net.bindIpAll setting.
 +
# Enable replication for Rocket.Chat
 +
replication:
 +
  replSetName: rs0
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Once started you need to initialise the replicaset. Make sure to exit from the mongo instance and run from the cli:
 +
 
 +
mongo --eval "printjson(rs.initiate())"
 +
 
 +
You should now have a working mongoDB good enough to use with Rocket.Chat
 +
 
 +
 
 +
===Other settings===
 +
 
 +
  nano /etc/security/limits.conf
 +
 
 +
These settings are automatically added during installation
 +
 
 +
@mongod      soft        nproc      unlimited
 +
@mongod      hard      nproc        unlimited
 +
@mongod      soft      nofile      64000
 +
@mongod      hard      nofile      64000
 +
 
 +
Adding a user
 +
 
 +
https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/install-mongodb-on-centos-7/
 +
 
 +
use admin
 +
 +
db.createUser(
 +
  {
 +
    user: "admin",
 +
    pwd: "admin123",
 +
    roles: [ { role: "userAdminAnyDatabase", db: "admin" } ]
 +
  }
 +
)
 +
 
 +
show users
 +
 
 +
We can then set Mongo to force authentication when connecting.
 +
 
 +
nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/mongod.service.d/50koozali.conf
 +
 
 +
Add:
 +
 
 +
[Service]
 +
Environment="OPTIONS=--auth -f /etc/mongod.conf"
 +
 
 +
Restart Mongo
 +
 
 +
systemctl restart mongod
 +
 
 +
You should now need a password to login.
 +
 
 +
===Templating mongod.conf===
 +
 
 +
This is possible but we need to create a new file so we do not overwrite the original - otherwise yum/rpm will complain.
 +
 
 +
Something like /etc/mongod/mongod.conf
 +
 
 +
Template fragments in
 +
 
 +
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/mongod/mongod.conf
 +
 
 +
We can then amend the systemd overrride
 +
 
 +
nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/mongod.service.d/50koozali.conf
 +
 
 +
Add this:
 +
 
 +
[Service]
 +
Environment="OPTIONS=-f /etc/mongod/mongod.conf"
 +
 
 +
===Dump and restore===
 +
 
 +
Samples - YMMV.
 +
 
 +
Quick little script to dump the Rocket.Chat collection:
 +
 
 +
#!bin/bash
 +
echo "Dump with Users/Roles"
 +
mongodump --dumpDbUsersAndRoles -d rocketchat -o /root/backup/rocketchatmongo
 +
echo "dump all"
 +
mongodump -d rocketchat -o /root/backup/rocketchatmongo-all
 +
 
 +
 
 +
{{Warning box| Do not restore between versions!!}}
 +
 
 +
If you export from a version eg 4.0 then restore to that version. Do not try and restore 4.0 to 4.2 or higher.
 +
 
 +
Then change your repo, and then upgrade mongo.
 +
 
 +
To restore:
 +
 
 +
mongorestore /root/backup/rocketchatmongo-all
 +
 
 +
===Backup with system===
 +
 
 +
With credit to Daniel Berteaud
 +
 
 +
Action script to dump the mongo DB on pre-backup event
 +
 
 +
mkdir -p /home/e-smith/db/mongo
 +
 
 +
cat <<_EOF > /etc/e-smith/events/actions/mongodb-dump
 +
#!/bin/bash -e
 +
/usr/bin/mongodump --quiet --out /home/e-smith/db/mongo/
 +
_EOF
 +
 
 +
chmod +x /etc/e-smith/events/actions/mongodb-dump
 +
cd /etc/e-smith/events/pre-backup
 +
ln -s ../actions/mongodb-dump ./S60mongodb-dump
 +
 
 +
===Vaporise or reinitialise the database===
 +
 
 +
{{Warning box| This will totally and utterly vaporise your data. Got a backup?? You have been warned}}
 +
 
 +
Remove the directory contents:
 +
 
 +
rm -rf /var/lib/mongo/*
 +
 
 +
Or remove the entire directory and recreate it with the correct ownership:
   −
and add the symlinks to start automatically:
+
  rm -rf /var/lib/mongo
  ln -s /etc/init.d/mongod /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K03mongodb
+
  mkdir -p /var/lib/mongo
  ln -s /etc/init.d/mongod /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S57mongodb
+
  chown -R mongod:mongod /var/lib/mongo
optional: create symlink to use mongo or mongodb as service name
  −
  ln /etc/init.d/mongod /etc/init.d/mongodb
     −
To ensure everything is all right:
+
If you have a replicaset set in /etc/mongod.conf make sure you initiate it:
   −
  signal-event post-upgrade
+
  mongo --eval "printjson(rs.initiate())"
signal-event reboot
