How to Install and Secure MongoDB on Ubuntu 16.04

sudo apt-get update

Adding the MongoDB Repository

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv EA312927

Issue the following command to create a list file for MongoDB.

echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.2 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.2.list

After adding the repository details, we need to update the packages list.

sudo apt-get update

Installing and Verifying MongoDB

Now we can install the MongoDB package itself.

sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

Verify installed

cd /usr/bin
ls mongo*

If failed, probably needs

sudo apt-get install -y --allow-unauthenticated mongodb-org

We'll create a unit file to manage the MongoDB service.

sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/mongodb.service

[Unit]
Description=High-performance, schema-free document-oriented database
After=network.target

[Service]
User=mongodb
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mongod --quiet --config /etc/mongod.conf

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Next, start the newly created service with systemctl

sudo systemctl start mongodb

Check that the service has started properly.

sudo systemctl status mongodb

Enable automatically starting MongoDB when the system starts.

sudo systemctl enable mongodb
