Welcome to the repository for MongoDB 7 installation on all Debian. This README provides step-by-step instructions to install MongoDB Community Edition using the apt package manager. Let's get started !

Step 1: Install gnupg and curl if not already installed

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y gnupg curl wget

Import the MongoDB public GPG key

curl -fsSL https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-7.0.asc | \
   sudo gpg -o /usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-7.0.gpg \
   --dearmor

Step 2: Create MongoDB sources list file for Debian 11 "Bullseye"

echo "deb [ signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-7.0.gpg ] http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian `lsb_release -cs`/mongodb-org/7.0 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-7.0.list

Step 3: Reload local package database

sudo apt-get update

Step 4: Install MongoDB packages

sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

Optional: Pin MongoDB package to prevent unintended upgrades

echo "mongodb-org hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "mongodb-org-database hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "mongodb-org-server hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "mongodb-mongosh hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "mongodb-org-mongos hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "mongodb-org-tools hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections

Step 5: Start MongoDB

sudo systemctl start mongod

Step 6: Run the following command first:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Step 7: Verify MongoDB status

sudo systemctl status mongod

Optional: Enable MongoDB to start on system reboot

sudo systemctl enable mongod

Step 8: Reload local package database

sudo apt-get update

Step 9: Stop MongoDB (if needed)

sudo systemctl stop mongod

Step 10: Restart MongoDB (if needed)

sudo systemctl restart mongod

Step 11: Remove MongoDB packages (if needed)

sudo apt-get purge "mongodb-org*"

Step 12: Remove MongoDB data directories (if needed)

sudo rm -r /var/log/mongodb
sudo rm -r /var/lib/mongodb
