But, fortunately, MacPorts makes it easy to autostart MongoDB.
As they note on the installation instructions (link above) you can simply run mongod with a local data directory, without having to mess around with getting Mac OS X to autostart the mongod process on system restart. >-> Installing mongodb Activating mongodb is installed at this point, but not running. Execute the following command to start it, # A startup item has been generated that will aid in > Dependencies to be installed: libpcap scons snappy With MacPorts it's real simple to do: $ sudo port install mongodb Why install using a package manager rather than the downloadable binary? It's so that the package manager system will automagically update the software as new releases come out. What I've done instead, on my computer, is install it with MacPorts. They also have installation instructions for use either with the download, or a source install using Homebrew. In any case, assuming you've decided to set up a local MongoDB instance, how do you go about it? Also, do you trust your data to a 3rd party? You'd be putting your development environment at the risk of 3rd parties who might quit their business. For example in my book I'd listed two other companies, neither of whom now offer MongoDB hosting services. That's a great point and it's worth considering You could just do your software development work against one of those providers, and skip the headache of running your own server. The first question to ask yourself is, why set up a local MongoDB instance at all? There are several companies offering free or low cost MongoDB database services. Both the MongoDB and Mongoose projects are sponsored by
My book (see links in sidebar) includes a section demonstrating using the Mongoose ORM library. The Node.js community has developed several Mongo drivers for use with Node.
MongoDB is an extremely popular NoSQL database that's document centric and offers a lot of flexibility. In this installment we'll look at setting up a MongoDB instance. Earlier we looked at setting up Node.js on a Mac OS X machine, as well as using forever to keep server processes running. This is part three of a series of blog posts exploring the set-up of MAMP-like development environment for Node.js on Mac OS X.
