NetWebApiM

WebAPI project on .NET 7 using a MongoDB NoSQL database

Installing MongoDB

1. Install MongoDB from https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/community
2. Install MongoDB Compass from https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/compass
3. Run

docker run -d --rm --name mongo -p 27017:27017  -v C:\ProgramData\docker\volumes\mongodbdata:C:\data\db mongo
docker ps
docker stop mongo

Code that fixed volume issue:

docker run -d --rm --name mongo -p 27017:27017  -v C:\ProgramData\docker\volumes\mongodbdata:C:\data\db mongo

This worked for a separate D:\ location and on Windows Server 2019

Code provided by example:

docker run -d --rm --name mongo -p 27017:27017  -v mongodbdata:data/db mongo
-d --rm doesnt attach - and rm means its destoryed when you stop it.
-p is opening a port to map to the container
-v is volume, which is a way to persist data. mongodbdata is the name of the volume, and /data/db is the path inside the container
docker ps -- checks if its running

New DB with auth

docker stop mongo
docker volume ls
docker volume rm mongodbdata

This line works with a new volume for this Auth DB - while saving old one. Needed to move the 'mongo' to the very end of the line.

docker run -d --rm --name mongo -p 27017:27017  -v C:\ProgramData\docker\volumes\mongodbdataauth:C:\data\db -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=mongoadmin -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=password mongo

Initialize secrets:

You don't want to store the Password in appsettings.json - can use Command Line, .env, cloud to store the password in a secret store. We will use Secret Manager.

dotnet user-secrets init --project .\Catalog\
dotnet user-secrets set MongoDbSettings:Password password
