MongoDB

NoSQL database

Please note: TurnKey MongoDB is not currently available from the TurnKey software appliance library.

The TurnKey Linux MongoDB appliance has been discontinued (hopefully temporarily) due to some issues that we had with a previous release. Resolving the issue was soaking up too many TKL resources so development has been put on hold until further notice. Unfortunately, due to internal resource limitations and other priorities, there is no ETA of when it may be available again. Thank you for your understanding.

We warmly welcome any community contributions to assist us to get the MongoDB appliance available again.

In the meantime, please check out some our other NoSQL (currently only CouchDB)and Database appliances.

Until further notice, this page remains available for informational purposes only.


MongoDB (from "humongous") is a scalable, high-performance document-oriented NoSQL database system. Instead of storing data in tables as is done in a "classical" relational database, MongoDB stores structured data as JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas, making integration with certain types of applications easier and faster.

This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:

  • MongoDB configurations:
    • MongoDB installed and maintained through the package management system (mongodb package).
    • Configured with auth enabled (security).
    • Configured to bind to all network interfaces (convenience).
    • Includes MongoDB PHP bindings.
    • Includes MongoDB Python bindings and iPython.
  • RockMongo for web based administration:
    • Installed from upstream source code to /var/www/rockmongo.
    • RockMongo is powered by Lighttpd with SSL support out-of-the-box.
  • Postfix MTA (bound to localhost) to allow sending of email (e.g., password recovery).
  • Webmin modules for configuring Postfix.
