# MongoDB

[MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com/) is a cross-platform document-oriented database. Classified as a NoSQL database, MongoDB eschews the traditional table-based relational database structure in favor of JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas, making the integration of data in certain types of applications easier and faster.

## TL;DR;

```bash
$ helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
$ helm install my-release bitnami/mongodb
```

## Introduction

This chart bootstraps a [MongoDB](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mongodb) deployment on a [Kubernetes](http://kubernetes.io) cluster using the [Helm](https://helm.sh) package manager.

Bitnami charts can be used with [Kubeapps](https://kubeapps.com/) for deployment and management of Helm Charts in clusters. This chart has been tested to work with NGINX Ingress, cert-manager, fluentd and Prometheus on top of the [BKPR](https://kubeprod.io/).

## Prerequisites

- Kubernetes 1.12+
- Helm 2.11+ or Helm 3.0-beta3+
- PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure
- ReadWriteMany volumes for deployment scaling

## Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name `my-release`:

```bash
$ helm install my-release bitnami/mongodb
```

The command deploys MongoDB on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The [Parameters](#parameters) section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

> **Tip**: List all releases using `helm list`

## Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the `my-release` deployment:

```bash
$ helm delete my-release
```

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

## Parameters

The following table lists the configurable parameters of the MongoDB chart and their default values.

Specify each parameter using the `--set key=value[,key=value]` argument to `helm install`. For example,

```bash
$ helm install my-release \
  --set mongodbRootPassword=secretpassword,mongodbUsername=my-user,mongodbPassword=my-password,mongodbDatabase=my-database \
    bitnami/mongodb
```

The above command sets the MongoDB `root` account password to `secretpassword`. Additionally, it creates a standard database user named `my-user`, with the password `my-password`, who has access to a database named `my-database`.

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

```bash
$ helm install my-release -f values.yaml bitnami/mongodb
```

> **Tip**: You can use the default [values.yaml](values.yaml)

## Configuration and installation details

### [Rolling VS Immutable tags](https://docs.bitnami.com/containers/how-to/understand-rolling-tags-containers/)

It is strongly recommended to use immutable tags in a production environment. This ensures your deployment does not change automatically if the same tag is updated with a different image.

Bitnami will release a new chart updating its containers if a new version of the main container, significant changes, or critical vulnerabilities exist.

### Production configuration and horizontal scaling

This chart includes a `values-production.yaml` file where you can find some parameters oriented to production configuration in comparison to the regular `values.yaml`. You can use this file instead of the default one.

- Switch to enable/disable replica set configuration:
```diff
- replicaSet.enabled: false
+ replicaSet.enabled: true
```

- Start a side-car prometheus exporter:
```diff
- metrics.enabled: false
+ metrics.enabled: true
```

- Enable/disable the Liveness Check of Prometheus metrics exporter:
```diff
- metrics.livenessProbe.enabled: false
+ metrics.livenessProbe.enabled: true
```

- Enable/disable the Readiness Check of Prometheus metrics exporter:
```diff
- metrics.readinessProbe.enabled: false
+ metrics.readinessProbe.enabled: true
```

To horizontally scale this chart, you can use the `--replicas` flag to modify the number of secondary nodes in your MongoDB replica set.

### Replication

You can start the MongoDB chart in replica set mode with the following parameter: `replicaSet.enabled=true`

Some characteristics of this chart are:

- Each of the participants in the replication has a fixed stateful set so you always know where to find the primary, secondary or arbiter nodes.
- The number of secondary and arbiter nodes can be scaled out independently.
- Easy to move an application from using a standalone MongoDB server to use a replica set.

### Initialize a fresh instance

The [Bitnami MongoDB](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mongodb) image allows you to use your custom scripts to initialize a fresh instance. In order to execute the scripts, they must be located inside the chart folder `files/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d` so they can be consumed as a ConfigMap.
Also you can create a custom config map and give it via `initConfigMap`(check options for more details).

The allowed extensions are `.sh`, and `.js`.

## Persistence

The [Bitnami MongoDB](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mongodb) image stores the MongoDB data and configurations at the `/bitnami/mongodb` path of the container.

The chart mounts a [Persistent Volume](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/persistent-volumes/) at this location. The volume is created using dynamic volume provisioning.

### Adjust permissions of persistent volume mountpoint

As the image run as non-root by default, it is necessary to adjust the ownership of the persistent volume so that the container can write data into it.

By default, the chart is configured to use Kubernetes Security Context to automatically change the ownership of the volume. However, this feature does not work in all Kubernetes distributions.
As an alternative, this chart supports using an initContainer to change the ownership of the volume before mounting it in the final destination.

You can enable this initContainer by setting `volumePermissions.enabled` to `true`.

## Upgrading

### To 7.0.0
From this version, the way of setting the ingress rules has changed. Instead of using `ingress.paths` and `ingress.hosts` as separate objects, you should now define the rules as objects inside the `ingress.hosts` value, for example:

```yaml
ingress:
  hosts:
  - name: mongodb.local
    path: /
```

### To 6.0.0

From this version, `mongodbEnableIPv6` is set to `false` by default in order to work properly in most k8s clusters, if you want to use IPv6 support, you need to set this variable to `true` by adding `--set mongodbEnableIPv6=true` to your `helm` command.
You can find more information in the [`bitnami/mongodb` image README](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mongodb/blob/master/README.md).

### To 5.0.0

When enabling replicaset configuration, backwards compatibility is not guaranteed unless you modify the labels used on the chart's statefulsets.
Use the workaround below to upgrade from versions previous to 5.0.0. The following example assumes that the release name is `my-release`:

```console
$ kubectl delete statefulset my-release-mongodb-arbiter my-release-mongodb-primary my-release-mongodb-secondary --cascade=false
```

## Configure Ingress
MongoDB can exposed externally using an Ingress controller. To do so, it's necessary to:

- Install the MongoDB chart setting the parameter `ingress.enabled=true`.
- Create a ConfigMap to map the external port to use and the internal service/port where to redirect the requests (see https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/blob/master/docs/user-guide/exposing-tcp-udp-services.md for more information).

For instance, if you installed the MongoDB chart in the `default` namespace, you can install the [stable/nginx-ingress chart](https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/nginx-ingress) setting the "tcp" parameter in the **values.yaml** used to install the chart as shown below:

```yaml
...

tcp:
  27017: "default/mongodb:27017"
```
