Docker Image for Fast Users Setup

This docker image config all users, including user administrator, through userinfo.py

See lib/userinfo_sample.py for all available settings. Then you can use the environment variable MONGO_USERINFO to pass all settings.

Basic Usage

docker run -it -p 27017:27017 dboyliao/smongo

It may take a while to setup MongoDB

After the setup completed, you should have a running mongod on your localhost.

• Type following command in your terminal shell to connect with mongodb.

  • Linux: mongo localhost:27017

  • OS X (boot2docker): mongo the.ip.for.boot2docker:27017 (This one is BUGGY!)

There is some issues about the filesystem for docker on OS X. I haven't found a solution for running mongod in docker on OS X. Sorry....

• You now should be able to connect to mongo and the users are setted according to default values. See lib/userinfo_sample.py for all default values.

Passing Admin Information

Also, you can easily pass admin information through environment variables.

For example, run:

docker run -it -p 27017:27017 -e "MONGO_ADMIN=qmal" -e "MONGO_ADMIN_PWD=qmalpwd" dboyliao/smongo

Then you should be able to login MongoDB as a user adminstrator with username="qmal" and password="qmalpwd".

Passing Outer userinfo.py Into Docker

Suppose you put your userinfo.py under /home/dboy.

There is a empty folder /share in this docker image to share outer files into it.

Type:

docker run -it -p 27017:27017 -v /home/dboy:/share -e "MONGO_USERINFO=/share/userinfo.py" dboyliao/smongo

Then the mongod is set according to userinfo.py.

Enjoy!

Issues:

1. Can't run on boot2docker. Need to fix the journaling issue. (without "--smallfiles" tag)
