Test Environment for Learn MongoDB 4.x

Here are the instructions for the test environment that serves for chapters 3 to 12. There are separate instructions, in the book, for testing MongoDB installation (chapter 2). Also, see chapter 13 for instructions on setting up a test environment to model a replica set. See chapter 14 for instructions on setting up a test environment to model a sharded cluster.

Set up your host computer

• Install git
  • On Linux or Mac: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git
  • On Windows: https://gitforwindows.org/
• Clone the repository for the book
  • Open a terminal window (command prompt)
  • If you are running Windows, be sure to use the Git BASH shell to follow these commands
  • Change to a directory under which you wish to install the files for the book
  • Clone the repository for the book using git (substitute the target directory on your computer in place of /path/to/repo):

git clone https://github.com/packtpub/learn-mongodb-4_0 /path/to/repo

• Install docker
• Pull the Docker base image for the book

docker pull unlikelysource/mongodb_python:latest

How To Setup Test Environment

Using Docker Compose

• Install docker-compose
• Open a terminal window (or Windows GIT bash prompt)
• Change to /path/to/repo
• Bring the test environment online:

cd /path/to/repo
docker-compose up -d --build

Using Docker

• Install docker
• Create a volume learn-mongodb

docker volume create db_data_server_1

• Identify the location

docker volume ls
docker volume inspect db_data_server_1

• Run PHP for Linux image and mount the volume (replace $PWD with /path/to/repo):

docker run -d -it --name learn-mongo-server-1 -v db_data_server_1:/data/db -v $PWD:/repo -v $PWD/docker/hosts:/etc/hosts -v $PWD/docker/mongod.conf:/etc/mongod.conf unlikelysource/mongodb_python:latest

Restore the Sample Data

• Open a terminal window (or Windows GIT bash prompt)
• Change to /path/to/repo
• Get container ID

docker container ls -a

• Open a shell to the container

docker exec -it <container_ID> /bin/bash
// or
docker exec -it learn-mongo-server-1 /bin/bash

• Restore sample data

/repo/restore_data_inside.sh

• Stop / start the web server

/repo/restart_apache_inside.sh

Access the Test Server from Outside Docker

• From inside the docker container, run this command to determine the IP address:

ifconfig

• Add an entry at the end of the /etc/hosts file of your own computer as follows:
  • Substitute the IP address you discovered above if it's different from 172.16.0.11

172.16.0.11    learning.mongodb.local

• Also, append the entries from /path/to/repo/docker/hosts file onto the end of your own /etc/hosts file
• For readers using a Windows computer, the /etc/hosts file is located here:

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
