# names and passwords for administrative users
mongodb_user_admin_name: siteUserAdmin
mongodb_user_admin_password: passw0rd

mongodb_root_admin_name: siteRootAdmin
mongodb_root_admin_password: passw0rd

mongodb_root_backup_name: backupuser
mongodb_root_backup_password: passw0rd

Usage

Add undergreen.mongodb to your roles and set vars in your playbook file.

Example vars for authorization:

mongodb_security_authorization: "enabled"
mongodb_users:
  - {
    name: testUser,
    password: passw0rd,
    roles: readWrite,
    database: app_development
}

Example vars for oplog user:

mongodb_oplog_users:
  - {
    user: oplog,
    password: passw0rd
}

Required vars to change on production:

mongodb_user_admin_password
mongodb_root_admin_password
mongodb_root_backup_password

# if you use replication and authorization
mongodb_security_keyfile

Example vars for replication:

# It's a 'master' node
mongodb_login_host: 192.168.56.2

# mongodb_replication_params should be configured on each replica set node
mongodb_replication_params:
  - {
      host_name: 192.168.56.2,
      host_port: "{{ mongodb_net_port }}",
      host_type: replica,
    }
  # host_type can be replica(default) and arbiter

And inventory file for replica set:

[mongo_master]
192.158.56.2 mongodb_master=True # it is't a really master of MongoDB replica set,
                                 # use this variable for replica set init only
								 # or when master is moved from initial master node

[mongo_replicas]
192.168.56.3
192.168.56.4

[mongo:children]
mongo_master
mongo_replicas
