How to install MongoDB 6 on Fedora 37
Mongodb 6 installation on Fedora Linux 37. Article shows lacking fragment of official docs and two steps after installation that are presented in extremely simple way in comparison to other sources.
In official docs there is instruction only for Redhat
and it contains $releasever in repository file. But on fedora $releasever is not defined. So to fix it you can check url
https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/and see that higest version of redhat is 9. Because of Fedora is experimental polygon of Redhat you can derive conclusion that it should works if you use redhat repository on fedora like this:
sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-6.0.repo<<EOF
[mongodb-org-6.0]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/9/mongodb-org/6.0/x86_64/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-6.0.asc
EOFNow you can install by
sudo dnf install -y mongodb-org
so there are two assumptions that are correct:
- using redhat repo for fedora works
- using dnf for yum repos works
Now you have to start mongod service
sudo systemctl start mongodAnd you can connect with mongodb by mongosh
Mongosh is better than mongo command because of colors and autocompletion, so use mongosh instead of mongo.
Mongo compass
To browse mongo in graphic mode you will probably choose compass. Following after
you can download rpm packages
wget https://downloads.mongodb.com/compass/mongodb-compass-1.35.0.x86_64.rpmand install it
sudo dnf install -y mongodb-compass-1.35.0.x86_64.rpm
Enable Mongo Replica Set locally
Replication described here:
is required by prisma so I am enabling it locally.
In file /etc/mongod.conf you have to replace
#replication:by
replication:
replSetName: "rs0"then reload mongod service
sudo systemctl restart mongodLogin to database by mongosh and use command
rs.initiate()then you can confirm changes by
rs.status()
If you experiencing more complications there is great article with advanced config
