Creating MongoDB Users by Hand

If you wish, you can have a separate MongoDB setup locally, on your network, or in the cloud and connect to it. The commands below would create it locally in a MongoDB on your local machine. Adjust the server name and user/pwd accordingly. Make sure your connection strings in the docker-compose or YAML are correct when you do this.

If using Kubernetes the best way to match up servers, users, and passwords is to use the Helm chart.

creating the user for READ/SAVE/UPLOAD by hand

• ~/mongodb/bin/mongo 'mongodb://root:myp2ssw0rd@localhost'
• use admin
• db.createUser({ user: "openrmf" , pwd: "openrmf1234!", roles: ["readWriteAnyDatabase"]});
• use openrmf
• db.createCollection("Artifacts");

creating the user for TEMPLATES by hand

• ~/mongodb/bin/mongo 'mongodb://root:myp2ssw0rd@localhost'
• use admin
• db.createUser({ user: "openrmftemplate" , pwd: "openrmf1234!", roles: ["readWriteAnyDatabase"]});
• use openrmftemplate
• db.createCollection("Templates");

creating the database user SCORES by hand

• ~/mongodb/bin/mongo 'mongodb://root:myp2ssw0rd@localhost'
• use admin
• db.createUser({ user: "openrmfscore" , pwd: "openrmf1234!", roles: ["readWriteAnyDatabase"]});
• use openrmfscore
• db.createCollection("Scores");

connecting to the database collection straight (example)

~/mongodb/bin/mongo 'mongodb://openrmf:openrmf1234!@localhost/openrmf?authSource=admin'
