MongoDB Installation

    1. From the terminal, install gnupg and curl if they are not already available

    curl -fsSL https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-7.0.asc | sudo gpg -o /usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-7.0.gpg --dearmor

    1. Create a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-7.0.list file for MongoDB

    echo "deb[signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-7.0.gpg] http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian bookworm/mongodb-org/7.0 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-7.0.list

    1. Issue the following command to reload the local package database

    sudo apt-get update

    1. Install the MongoDB packages

    sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

    1. Start the mongod process by issuing the following command

    sudo systemctl start mongod

    1. Verify that MongoDB has started successfully

    sudo systemctl status mongod
    7. Configure MongoDB in /etc/mongod.conf

    storage:
     dbPath: /var/lib/mongodb

    systemLog:
     destination: file
     logAppend: true
     path: /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log

    net:
     port: 27017
     bindIp: 127.0.0.1

    processManagement:
     timeZoneInfo: /usr/share/zoneinfo

    security:
     authorization: enabled
    ---
    Most of the above config is configured by default, you might want to set bindIp and port to the one you want and enable authorization, which is not enabled by default.
    You have to create an user account before enabling authorization, or you will not be able to log in to mongodb without any users configured.
