MongoDB Installation Guide

This guide provides all the key information and getting-started instructions after a successful MongoDB installation via DeploySage-CLI.

Getting Started​

You can start interacting with your MongoDB instance using the MongoDB Shell (mongosh).

# Connect to the MongoDB server
mongosh

# Show all databases
show dbs

# Switch to a database (creates it if it doesn't exist)
use myNewDatabase

# Insert a document into a collection
db.myCollection.insertOne({ name: "test", value: 123 })

# Find all documents in a collection
db.myCollection.find()

Service Management​

Manage the MongoDB service (mongod) using standard systemctl commands.

# Start the MongoDB service
sudo systemctl start mongod

# Stop the service
sudo systemctl stop mongod

# Check the service status
sudo systemctl status mongod

# View real-time logs
sudo journalctl -u mongod -f

Enabling Access Control​

db.createUser({
  user: "myAdmin",
