I'm setting up a MongoDB on a VPS that will run a Private network so that my apps on another VPS will be able to access it. I'm following the excellent Digital Ocean documentation, however, I'm not sure what client_ip_address is referring to. Does this mean the MongoDB VPS ip, the MongoDB VPS private network ip or the app VPS ip.
I'm a noob when it comes to databases.
Next, we'll allow access to the default MongoDB port, 27017, but
restrict that access to a specific host. If you've changed the default
port, be sure to update it in the command below.
sudo ufw allow from client_ip_address to any port 27017

I tried to connect a remote MongoDB Server running on Ubuntu using MongoDB Compass on Windows. But I have problems connecting always as the IP of the Windows machine changes every day.
I did the following things to connect to the remote server-
Got the IP of the Client Machine, then allowed that IP on the firewall of the server machine on port 27017.
sudo ufw allow from client_machine_ip to any port 27017
Note: The ufw status looked okay.
Got the IP of the Server Machine, then on the MongoDB configuration file on the server, I modified the bindIp.
bindIp: 127.0.0.1,server_machine_ip
Note: I restarted mongod and it was okay too.
I was able to connect the remote MongoDB Server using MongoDB Compass successfully for the first time. Then I saw, the IP of the client machine was changing every day. So, every time, the client IP changes, I need to allow that IP on the firewall of the server machine (in which I am using the MongoDB Server) on port 27017. Could you help to solve this? Thanks in advance.
You can update the firewall for port 27017 to allow from anywhere since client machine IP is not static.
sudo ufw allow 27017 #(this will allow from any IP)
I bought a VPS and I want to put MongoDB server there. I connect to VPS with ssh tunnel, install MongoDB and start it.
The question is, that how can I add VPS server to MongoDB Compass? Is it even possible?
I was trying to connect via hostname but I receive this error - connect ECONNREFUSED my.ip.adress.here
Also was trying to connect via ssh tunnel in MongoDB Compass - doesn't work for me.
Maybe there is a problem with port?
I can connect to my VPS from terminal with ssh.
Edit1:
I was using this documentation to install MongoDB on ubuntu and I'm using MongoDB 4.2.8
EDIT2: When I install mongodb on VPS, MongoDB ip is 127.0.0.1 how can I change it? I want it to set it for VPS ip address. If it's possible, otherwise I don't understand how I can connect to my DB on VPS.
Sorry if it's lame questions, just first time using VPS and it's pretty complex to me.
Before you can connect to vps with mongodb compass, you need to allow remote connections to mongodb from your vps.
It is recommended to secure your mongodb connection with a username and password
Edit the mongod.conf file located at
sudo nano /etc/mongod.conf
Enter a comma and append the IP address of the vps to the end of the bindIp field. This will allow remote connections to the mongodb instance
Save the file and restart the mongodb connection
sudo systemctl restart mongod
Setup the firewall to allow connections to port 27017 (the default mongodb port) from anywhere. (Please note that will expose your mongo database to the internet. Therefore it is recommended to close this port when shipping to production)
sudo ufw allow 27017
That's it for the vps.
You can now open up mongodb compass
Choose "fill in connection fields individually"
Fill in the hostname with the IP address of your vps, port is the port which you opened previously 27017 in this case and select authentication by username and password.
Enter the username and password of the mongodb admin which you should have created already.
Choose the authentication database (usually admin)
That's it. You should be connected. You can now view the collections and fields of your mongodb instance on your remote machine
I have installed and running mongodb on port 27017 of my VM on gcp. But I am not able to access database from my pc or any external client.
I have set firewall rules to allow ingress traffic with tcp protocol on port 27017(tcp:27017) from all ip ranges(0.0.0.0/0) and have set priority 1000.
firewall rules snapshot
Now when i am trying to access the database from external client I am not able to access it. I even tried mongodb compass and used ip address of VM and port 27017 to access the database. But unable to connect and showing(mongodb not running on provided host and port) however I am able to access to database when accessed from that VM itself in which I have installed the mongodb.
Please suggest if I am missing out anything.
By default, MongoDB doesn’t allow remote connections. So I would suggest you follow this tutorial to resolve your issue.
Let me know if this was helpful.
Add --bind_ip_all to mongodb server start command.
I have a flask app with mongoDB running on a digital ocean's droplet, and now I need to see what's inside that database.
I'm trying to connect with mongoDBCompass, but no tutorial seems to help me.
If there's another easier way to access that data, it would be helpful too.
You have several options:
Connect MongoDB Compass via an SSH tunnel.
Or use SSH tunneling with e.g.:
ssh -L <local_port>:<mongodb_hostname>:<mongodb_port> <user>#<bastion_hostname> -fN
and connect MongoDB Compass via localhost:<local_port>.
Or use the mongo shell directly on your droplet.
Or open the mongo port (typically 27017) via an inbound firewall rule and connect your favorite client to your droplets public IP.
I can successfully connected with mongodb on SlamData but for my localhost. Now I have a mongodb database on my EC2 server that database i want to connect in Ec2 then How can I ?
I know username and password. What should be a host and port?
If you are running Slamdata on your host and want to connect to MongoDB running on a remote EC2 host.
Then apart from the username and password, the host is the Public IP or host FQDN [ec2-xxxxxxx], port is 27017. For this check if your mongos is running and binding on 0.0.0.0. If it is binding to 127.0.0.1, you cannot connect remotely
Also check you AWS security group for EC2 and see that the port 27017 is open for your IP or in general to all [0.0.0.0] (this is NOT recommended!!!)
You can also review the FAQ on docs.slamdata.com located here.
Provides step-by-step troubleshooting for connecting to cloud-hosted MongoDB servers.
Additionally, the Path value refers to path inside of SlamData rather than the operating system path. For instance entering a value of aws1 results in a query path similar to the following, assuming you have a databased named demo and a collection named coll1:
SELECT * FROM `/aws1/demo/coll1`
