MongoDB

MongoDB is a NoSQL document database that can be enabled in your development environment. It comes with mongo-express, a web-based MongoDB admin interface.

Setup

Enable MongoDB during the initial setup by running:

dev setup

If you've already set up your environment, you can enable MongoDB by creating a configuration marker:

mkdir -p conf/mongo
dev rebuild

Configuration

MongoDB runs with default credentials:

  • Username: root
  • Password: example

To connect to MongoDB from your applications, use:

  • Host: mongo
  • Port: 27017
  • Connection string: mongodb://root:example@mongo:27017

mongo-express Web Interface

MongoDB includes mongo-express, a web-based admin interface for managing your databases.

Access it at: http://localhost:8081

Usage Examples

Connect from PHP

dev console

Then in your application:

$client = new MongoDB\Client("mongodb://root:example@mongo:27017");
$database = $client->mydatabase;
$collection = $database->mycollection;

Using MongoDB Shell

Access the MongoDB shell:

dev exec mongo mongosh -u root -p example

Troubleshooting

If MongoDB isn't starting, make sure the configuration marker exists:

ls conf/mongo

If the directory doesn't exist, create it and rebuild:

mkdir -p conf/mongo
dev down
dev up
