MongoDB® - Getting started

View as Markdown

Learn the first steps of creating and connecting to a MongoDB® Discovery Cloud Database service.

 

Requirements

OVHcloud Control Panel Access

 

Instructions

Click on Databases in the left-hand navigation bar under Databases & Analytics.

Click the Create your managed database button (click Create a service if your project already contains databases).

 

Select the database type

Between all database engines, select MongoDB. You can choose to change the version to install from the drop-down menu.

 

Review the order

The Production plan is selected by default along with the following options:

  • The region is set to Virginia (US-EAST-VA).
  • The node type is set to db2-15 (the amount of storage can be adjusted using the slider).
  • The number of nodes is set to 3.
  • The network type is Public (internet).

Review the service settings, then click the Order button.

Within a few minutes, your MongoDB® service will be deployed.

 

Connectivity settings

Once the service is up and running, you can configure it to accept incoming connections. A dedicated guide is available to help you configure your service after installation.

 

Testing the service

When the service is running and accepting incoming connections, the next step is to access the service. The common way to do so is to use MongoDB® Compass to connect to the service, following this guide.

If MongoDB® Compass is not your preferred method, read these other guides to connect to the service :

Other integration examples can be found in our GitHub repository.
