How to add MongoDB to Plesk servers?

MongoDB is a free and open-source document-oriented database. It provides high performance, high availability, and simple scalability. As it does not use a traditional relational database structure, we can definitely say it is a NoSQL database. Instead, it uses JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas.

MongoDB does not require a predefined schema to add data to a database. Users can change the schema as often as they like. There is no need to create a new database with an updated schema.

Software requirements of Plesk list all third-party software it supports. From that, we can see MongoDB database servers are not supported by Plesk. So we need to deploy MongoDB in a remote Docker container.

The steps to add MongoDB to Plesk servers via Docker are as follows:
  • Firstly, sign in to Plesk.
  • Then go to Plesk >> Docker.
  • In the Docker catalog search field, type mongo.
  • In order to automatically download and start MongoDB instance deployment, click the Run button.
  • Disable automatic port mapping. And manually map the MongoDB instance to the localhost port. All MongoDB connections will be served at the external port.
  • We have to ensure that both data and setup survive the Docker container restarts. So map the Docker container to a location on the file system.
  • In order to change the root password, add the variables MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME and MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD.
  • To deploy and start the Docker container, click OK.
  • Add a connection to the Plesk server using SSH to add MongoDB to Plesk.
  • Check that MongoDB is listening for new connections:
    # ss -tlpn | grep 27017

    LISTEN 0 128 :::27017 :::*

  • Start MongoDB shell installation.
  • Finally, verify the addition of MongoDB connectivity from the localhost by running the Mongo shell on the Plesk server:
    #mongo
    MongoDB shell version: 2.6.10
    
    connecting to: test
    
    Welcome to the MongoDB shell.
