Remote Host support #20

Closed mrrooijen closed 13 years ago

mrrooijen commented 13 years ago

Any chance we'll be seeing remote host support in the near future so we can use services like MongoHQ?

I didn't realise there wasn't any auth support so I have rewrite using the blocking mongo driver with EM.defer

bcg commented 13 years ago

Could you guys better define "Remote Host Support". Maybe I am missing something?

mrrooijen commented 13 years ago

@bcg like with Mongoid ODM you can specify an URI.

production:
  uri: <%= ENV["MONGOHQ_URL"] %>

To connect to the hosted (external/remote) database service.

bcg commented 13 years ago

You can connect to remote hosts in em-mongo ...

connection = EM::Mongo::Connection.new(IP_ADDR, PORT)

We don't have a YAML configuration file, but we also won't ever. This is just a library not a framework.

mrrooijen commented 13 years ago

I think the issue was (not sure if it still is) is the fact that using MongoHQ we are required to authenticate with a username and password in order to actually connect, and I believe at the time I submitted the ticket this wasn't possible. Been a while since I opened the ticket so I can't exactly remember.
