3.4. Installing MongoDB
You can install only the same version of MongoDB that is installed with the satellite-installer
tool during an internal database installation. You can install MongoDB using Red Hat Software Collections (RHSCL) repositories or from an external source, as long as the version is supported. Satellite supports MongoDB version 3.4.
Procedure
To install MongoDB, enter the following command:
# yum install rh-mongodb34 rh-mongodb34-syspaths
Start and enable the rh-mongodb34 service:
# systemctl start rh-mongodb34-mongod # systemctl enable rh-mongodb34-mongod
Create a Pulp user on MongoDB for database pulp_database:
# mongo pulp_database \ --eval "db.createUser({user:'pulp',pwd:'pulp_password',roles:[{role:'dbOwner', db:'pulp_database'},{ role: 'readWrite', db: 'pulp_database'}]})"
In the
/etc/opt/rh/rh-mongodb34/mongod.conf
file, specify the bind IP:bindIp: your_mongodb_server_bind_IP,::1
Edit the
/etc/opt/rh/rh-mongodb34/mongod.conf
file to enable authentication in thesecurity
section:security: authorization: enabled
Restart the
rh-mongodb34-mongod
service:# systemctl restart rh-mongodb34-mongod
Open port 27017 for MongoDB:
# firewall-cmd --add-port=27017/tcp # firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent
From Satellite Server, test that you can access the database. If the connection succeeds, the command returns
1
.# scl enable rh-mongodb34 " mongo --host mongo.example.com \ -u pulp -p pulp_password --port 27017 --eval 'ping:1' pulp_database"
