Mongo¶

Connecting to the database¶

For services running inside the cluster use the following connection string:

mongodb%3A%2F%2Fmongodb%3A27017%2F%3FreplicaSet%3Drs0%26tls%3Dfalse%26connect%3Ddirect%26retryWrites%3Dtrue%26w%3Dmajority

Note

The connection string must be escaped otherwise the configuration loader will error.

Info

The local development instance of mongo does not use any credentials and runs as a single node replica set enabling you to use transactions in your code.

Most projects that require mongo should already have a MONGO_DSN entry in their .env files, for these cases set the value to the following:

MONGO_DSN=mongodb%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A27017%2F%3FreplicaSet%3Drs0%26tls%3Dfalse%26connect%3Ddirect%26retryWrites%3Dtrue%26w%3Dmajority

Connecting from a database management gui¶

Use the following parameters:

username: leave empty
password: leave empty
host: localhost:27017
connect: direct
tls: false

Tip

When the cluster is running locally mongo will be available on localhost:27017
