NoSQL database for openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise¶

Install and configure components¶

1. Enable the Open Build Service repositories for MongoDB based on your openSUSE or SLES version:

   On openSUSE:

   # zypper addrepo -f obs://server:database/openSUSE_Leap_42.1 Database
   

   On SLES:

   # zypper addrepo -f obs://server:database/SLE_12_SP1 Database
   

   Note

   The packages are signed by GPG key 05905EA8. You should verify the fingerprint of the imported GPG key before using it.

   Key Name:         server:database OBS Project <server:database@build.opensuse.org>
   Key Fingerprint:  116EB863 31583E47 E63CDF4D 562111AC 05905EA8
   Key Created:      Mon 08 Dec 2014 09:54:12 AM UTC
   Key Expires:      Wed 15 Feb 2017 09:54:12 AM UTC
   

   Install the MongoDB package:

   # zypper install mongodb
   

2. Edit the /etc/mongodb.conf file and complete the following actions:

   • Configure the bind_ip key to use the management interface IP address of the controller node.

     bind_ip = 10.0.0.11
     

   • By default, MongoDB creates several 1 GB journal files in the /var/lib/mongodb/journal directory. If you want to reduce the size of each journal file to 128 MB and limit total journal space consumption to 512 MB, assert the smallfiles key:

     smallfiles = true
     

     You can also disable journaling. For more information, see the MongoDB manual.

Finalize installation¶

• Start the MongoDB service and configure it to start when the system boots:

  # systemctl enable mongodb.service
  # systemctl start mongodb.service
