ngx-mongodb is an Nginx module to serve content directly from `MongoDB <http://www.mongodb.org/>` using a REST over HTTP interface.
Installing Nginx modules requires rebuilding Nginx from source:
-
Grab the Nginx source and unpack it.
-
Clone this repository somewhere on your machine.
-
Change to the directory containing the Nginx source.
-
Now build:
$ ./configure --add-module=/path/to/ngx-mongodb/source/ $ make $ make install
mongodb-rest
| syntax | mongodb-rest DB\_NAME [field=QUERY\_FIELD] [type=QUERY\_TYPE] [user=USERNAME] [pass=PASSWORD] |
|---|---|
| default | NONE |
| context | location |
This directive enables the ngx-mongodb module at a given location. The only required parameter is DB_NAME to specify the database to serve files from.
- field= specify the field to query. Supported fields include _id. default: _id
- type= specify the type to query. Supported types include objectid, string and int. default: objectid
- user= specify a username if your mongo database requires authentication. default: NULL
- pass= specify a password if your mongo database requires authentication. default: NULL
mongo
When connecting to a single server:
| syntax | mongo MONGOD\_HOST |
|---|---|
| default | 127.0.0.1:27017 |
| context | location |
When connecting to a replica set:
| syntax | mongo REPLICA\_SET\_NAME* *MONGOD\_SEED\_1* *MONGOD\_SEED\_2 |
|---|---|
| default | 127.0.0.1:27017 |
| context | location |
This directive specifies a mongod or replica set to connect to. MONGOD_HOST should be in the form of hostname:port. REPLICA_SET_NAME should be the name of the replica set to connect to.
If this directive is not provided, the module will attempt to connect to a MongoDB server at 127.0.0.1:27017.
Here is a sample configuration in the relevant section of an nginx.conf:
location /db/ {
mongodb-rest test;
}
ngx-mongodb is based upon nginx-gridfs.
