\n\n# MongoDB Advanced Helm Chart\n\nMongoDB is a relational open source NoSQL database known for easy use, JSON-like document storage, automated scalability, and high performance. The MongoDB Advanced Helm chart automates deployment and configuration of MongoDB in Kubernetes clusters using Minimus images with hardened security and production-grade configuration.\n\n\n## {{icon-list-search}} Prerequisites\n\n- A subscription to the Minimus images included in the chart\n- A running Kubernetes cluster (v1.21 or higher is recommended)\n- `kubectl` installed and configured\n- Helm v3.8 or higher for OCI support ([Installation instructions](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/))\n- Cluster Admin privileges\n- Persistent storage available in your cluster\n\n

\n\n---\n\n

\n\n## {{icon-rocket}}Try It Out\n\nIn this example we will deploy MongoDB on a Kubernetes cluster using the Minimus MongoDB Advanced Helm chart. MongoDB will provide a production-ready NoSQL database with standalone or replica set architecture out of the box.\n\n

\n\n### Step 1: Start Cluster\n\n

\n\nIf you have a cluster to work with, skip this step. Otherwise, start a Minikube cluster. [Deployment instructions](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/?arch=%2Flinux%2Fx86-64%2Fstable%2Fbinary+download)\n\n

\n\n### Step 2: Create Namespace\n\n

\n\nCreate a namespace:\n\n```\nkubectl create ns mongodb-advanced\n```\n\n{{if-enterprise}}\n\nNext, create a Kubernetes secret for the Minimus token:\n\n```\nkubectl create secret docker-registry minimus-registry \\\n --docker-server=reg.mini.dev \\\n --docker-username=minimus \\\n --docker-password={{pull-token}} \\\n --namespace=mongodb-advanced\n```\n\n{{/if-enterprise}}\n\n

\n\n### Step 3: Deploy the Helm Chart\n\n

\n\nDeploy the Minimus Helm chart:\n\n```\nhelm install my-mongodb-advanced {{oci-url}} \\\n --version {{chart-version}} \\\n -n mongodb-advanced \\\n --wait\n```\n\nIf you want to override the chart's defaults, go to the Values tab, save a copy locally with your changes. Deploy the chart with your overrides using `-f values.yaml`:\n\n```\nhelm install my-mongodb-advanced {{oci-url}} \\\n --version {{chart-version}} \\\n -f values.yaml \\\n -n mongodb-advanced \\\n --wait\n```\n\n

\n\n### Step 4: Verify MongoDB Advanced is Running\n\n

\n\nConfirm the chart deployed successfully and MongoDB started:\n\n```\nkubectl get pods -n mongodb-advanced -l app.kubernetes.io/name=mongodb\n```\n\nYou should see output similar to:\n\n```\nNAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE\nmy-mongodb-advanced-mongodb-0 1/1 Running 0 2m\nmy-mongodb-advanced-mongodb-1 1/1 Running 0 2m\nmy-mongodb-advanced-mongodb-arbiter-0 1/1 Running 0 2m\n```\n\n

\n\n### Step 5: Test Database Connection\n\n

\n\nRetrieve the MongoDB root password from the Kubernetes secret:\n\n```\nexport MONGODB_ROOT_PASSWORD=$(kubectl get secret my-mongodb-advanced-mongodb \\\n -n mongodb-advanced \\\n -o jsonpath='{.data.mongodb-root-password}' | base64 -d)\n```\n\nForward the MongoDB port to your local machine:\n\n```\nkubectl port-forward svc/my-mongodb-advanced-mongodb -n mongodb-advanced 27017:27017 &\n```\n\nConnect with `mongosh` and verify the database is operational:\n\n```\nmongosh \"mongodb://root:${MONGODB_ROOT_PASSWORD}@localhost:27017/admin?authSource=admin\" \\\n --eval 'db.adminCommand(\"ping\")'\n```\n\nYou should see `{ ok: 1 }` confirming the connection is working.\n\n

\n\n### Step 6: Clean Up\n\n

\n\nUninstall the chart and delete the namespace to remove all resources:\n\n```bash\nhelm uninstall my-mongodb-advanced -n mongodb-advanced\nkubectl delete namespace mongodb-advanced\n```\n\n
