How do I connect to my MongoDB server?

1. In the panel, open My servers and click your server.
2. On the Overview tab, wait for the App row to say "MongoDB is ready". The page refreshes itself.
3. Copy the details from the Connection address, Login and Password rows.

Connecting

The connection string looks like this:

mongodb://yonetici:PASSWORD@IP:27017/?authSource=admin

The yonetici login has full rights (root role), so it is a good idea to create a separate user for your app. The version is MongoDB 8.0.

Security

• Database port 27017 is open to the internet. To let only your own servers connect, limit it in the firewall: ufw delete allow 27017/tcp, then ufw allow from YOUR_IP to any port 27017.
• Connections come without TLS: the password is protected but the data is not encrypted. If you move sensitive data over the internet, use an SSH tunnel.
• This is a standalone mongod: transactions and change streams only work on replica sets. If you need them, turn on replication yourself in /etc/mongod.conf.

No server yet? Order a server with MongoDB installed: you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
