MongoDB Configuration

MongoDB

MongoDB is a cross-platform document-oriented database program. Classified as a NoSQL database program, MongoDB uses JSON-like documents with optional schemas.

The following settings are available via the Manifest file :

Option	Description	Clouds
`groups`	Used to define multiple separate database groups (of the same type), each with their own configuration. The name of each group in your Manifest must match the names in your Dashboard.	All
`iam_instance_profile_name`	The name of the IAM instance profile that should be used when provisioning this server.	AWS
`instance_service_account_name`	The name of the GCE Service Account that should be used when provisioning this server.	GCE
`operating_system`	The version of Ubuntu to install on the server that hosts MongoDB. Accepted values ubuntu2204orubuntu2404	All
`root_disk_size`	Default size of root disk (in GB) for servers used by MongoDB. Default value is `50`.	AWS, Azure, GCE
`root_disk_type`	Disk type for servers used by MongoDB, accepted values being `ssd` and `magnetic`. Default value is `ssd`.	AWS, GCE
`tags`	Append the listed tags to any servers created for this component. See our tagging guide for more info on tag syntax and support.	AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean, Hetzner
`tamper_with_yml`	Determines whether Cloud 66 can automatically update your database configuration (username, password and server address). Default is `yes`.	All
`version`	Specify the version of MongoDB you want to install. NOTE: You can use database groups to run different versions of the same database in parallel with each other.	All

Example YAML for MongoDB

For the database group named default (the group Cloud 66 creates when you first add MongoDB to an application):

mongodb:
  configuration:
    version: 2.4.8
    root_disk_size: 100
    root_disk_type: ssd

For any other database group, nest the configuration under the groups: block and refer to the group by its Dashboard name:

mongodb:
  groups:
    <your-group-name>:
      configuration:
        version: 2.4.8
        root_disk_size: 100
        root_disk_type: ssd

The top-level form is not a global default

The top-level mongodb: configuration: form applies only to the group named default — it is not a fallback for groups that don't have an explicit configuration. Each group must be configured under its own name in the groups: block.
