I am using mongodb database for my meteor app. I want to access it from another pc. I have mounted my local as a virtual drive on other PC using ssh. Now I want to connect to mongodb via robomongo. I have given the address as 192.168.1.2:4001 (ip addr of local : port on which meteor is running +1). But its giving an error 'Unable to connect to mongodb'. How to proceed?
The other way around is to start your meteor on a regular mongo server with this command :
MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/nameOfDatabase meteor
Be sure to have a running mongo on localhost and to change the nameOfDatabase.
Now it's just a regular mongoDB server to connect. Also you might need to add login and password to that mongo url and the debug parameter after meteor if you use packages like meteor toys.
Please check mongodb's config file /etc/mongod.conf and comment out bind ip
net:
#bindIp: 127.0.0.1
port: 4001
Restart mongodb service. This will allow mongodb to bind to ip's other than localhost.

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 a Meteor app running on Cloud 9 and I would like to connect to MongoDB from a window app that I am in trial period (DBSCHEMA: http://www.dbschema.com/).
Cloud 9 guys told me that I need my DB to listen to 0.0.0.0:8082.
In cloud9 I started my app using command: $ meteor --port $IP:$PORT.
I also created a db and user that has role "userAdmin" to this database.
In another terminal, at c9, "Meteor mongo" command give me connecting to: 127.0.0.1:8081/meteor
In DBSchema ping to the server is succesfull, but connection is refused.
So, I am trying to change to 0.0.0.0:8082 but I cant figure out how and not sure its going to work.
Any suggestions please?
use environment variable MONGO_URL=your-mongo-server-ip-or-hostname:8082 in meteor and start mongo with port 8082 on 0.0.0.0 with the config file
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/configuration-options/
Ideally, you should not expose you dB to the outside (so not bind to 0.0.0.0 which exposes the DB on all interfaces including the public IP).
If you want to access it with Robomongo, bind to localhost, and then you should create a ssh tunnel to the server from you local terminal with the command
ssh -L 8082:localhost:8082 your-host
then connect to it with robomongo at localhost:8082 –
How do I connect to my Meteor Mongo instance from a GUI, e.g. MongoChef (I am on Windows running an Ubuntu Virtual Machine which has the Meteor application on it)?
I have tried connecting using the IP address of my running Virtual Box, with both port 3001 and 27017 with no joy - should I be setting up some port forwarding or something?
This applies to an out-of-the-box install of Mongo when Meteor is installed:
The mongo daemon mongod binds to 127.0.0.1 so you need to connect to it via a SSH tunnel if your client supports it. MongoVUE and Mongo Chef both allow this type of connection. Once you SSH into the VM, you can connect to 127.0.0.1:3001 without any trouble. It does not require a password or username, just the database to be set as meteor.
UPDATED:
I just start to deal with a new VPS and i am trying to connect its port 27017 (mongodb database) from localhost (using robomongo).
It's working on my localhost machine and with another remote server, but i can't connect mongodb on this VPS, what could cause this issue ?
I start it this way:
mongod --setParameter enableLocalhostAuthBypass=0 --config /etc/mongodb.conf --fork
with the auth = true uncommented in the /etc/mongodb.conf file (but it looks like the issue is not that i can't auth but mongodb is not responding at all).
When i start mongo admin -u root -p root by being connected with SSH, it works great (i can connect my database) and i can see that mongodb is well listenning on the port 27017.
But when i try to access it from my local machine, it can't establish the connection, and if i try to connect it with my browser, i am supposed to get a mongodb error message: You are trying to access MongoDB on the native driver port. For http diagnostic access, add 1000 to the port number but i don't, i just have a failure page with Chrome (and the port 28017 is not responding either).
How to solve this ? My VPS is brand new and i could need to install more packages but i really don't see what could be need for this, it also looks like a firewall issue, like something prevent mongodb and response before the request could reach it, i have juste installed apache2 and nginx and they are not running so i really don't see...
Ok, I have found the issue!
There is a line bind_ip 127.0.0.1 in the /etc/mongod.conf file.
It provides access only to the specified IP address to mongodb.
You should create an array of IPs and edit the config file as:
bind_ip [127.0.0.1, x.x.x.x, ...]
Where x.x.x.x is your IP.
i resolved this issue with file(/etc/mongod.conf)
commenting out as follows:
#bindIp: 127.0.0.1 # Listen to local interface only, comment to listen on all interfaces.
How can I connect Robomongo (or any other mongodb client) to the mongodb instance that is created by my local Meteor application?
Ensure Meteor is running on localhost. Open a terminal window and run meteor command. It will start running on localhost:3000 if you have not changed to port.
While it is running, open a separate terminal window and run meteor mongo command. This will open up a MongoDB shell and tell you what port it is connecting to This is normally 3001 as of version 0.7.1.1 or 3002 if earlier. It will say something like 127.0.0.1:3001/meteor
Go to Robomongo (or your favorite mongodb client software) and create a new connection, making sure to change the connection address to localhost and the given the port number. No need to additionally define /meteor if your client does not insist on a default database.
Also as pointed out in https://stackoverflow.com/a/22023284/1064151 some drivers may need specific line endings, delimeters or other character flow. For example, ObjCMongoDB a C based driver wants the url to be 127.0.0.1:3001/ with that extra / at the end, or it won't work. So make sure you check the documentation for your driver/client.
Easiest way to get the current configuration details is to use the following command
meteor mongo -U
This will give you the connection string
From terminal run following command
meteor mongo -U
That will show you the local host IP address and in which port you application is running. Now run the Robomongo and configure as following two field as you got by running the previous command
Use SSH tunneling by the following command :
ssh -L 3001:localhost:3001 user-name#host
It forwards connections from your local port 3001 to localhost:3001 on your server. Now we can simply connect to our database.
Create a Robomongo connection on your localhost and hit Test (Out of two checks, Authentication may fail) :
I'm using ObjCMongoDB, a C based mongoDB driver. With the new update instead of using the previous 127.0.0.1:3002 to connect to my localhost running meteor's mongodb, I now need to use 127.0.0.1:3001/ with the collection name still being meteor.collection. The important change is the port from :3002 to :3001/. Remember the /, it is critical for the connection.
This worked for me,Before connecting make sure meteor is running.
I am using Robomongo to connect. Create new connection and add
Address as : localhost;
port as: 3001
I'm too using Robomongo and before the latest update V0.7.1,i used port 3002 to connect,as #Serkan Durusoy suggest's for the latest update it is working for 3001 port
#imal365 answer is perfect. Just to add my insight on it:
I realized that the default Meteor Mongo port number is the port number of the application with 1 added to it (as of version 0.7.1.1). In my case, I was running Meteor on port 1337 with the command meteor --port 1337 and my Meteor Mongo port was 1338.
