# MongoDB

MongoDB is a free and open source database and uses a document-oriented data model.

## Installation
## Security

```
# dnf install mongodb mongodb-server
# service mongod start
```
Fedora has determined that the Server Side Public Licensev1 (SSPL) is not a Free Software License. Therefore, we need to drop MongoDB from Fedora or never update it again. Never updating it would bring security issues, hence we decided to remove it.

## How to install a specific version
## How to install a specific upstream version

First we need configure the package management system, please note that:

> DNF by default uses the global configuration file at /etc/dnf/dnf.conf and all *.repo files found under /etc/yum.repos.d. The
> DNF by default uses the global configuration file at /etc/dnf/dnf.conf and all \*.repo files found under /etc/yum.repos.d. The
latter is typically used for repository configuration and takes precedence over global configuration.

Access the directory and create a file mongodb-org-*release_series*.repo
Create a file mongodb-org-*release_series*.repo

```
$ cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
$ sudo touch mongodb-org-4.4.repo
```console
$ sudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-4.4.repo
```

Insert this content inside mongodb-org-*release_series*.repo, edit if you want install another version.
Insert this content inside the mongodb-org-*release_series*.repo file, edit the *release_series* in the filename and the baseurl and gpgkey fields URLs if you want to install another version.

Now you can install with dnf

```console
$ sudo dnf install mongodb-org
```
$ sudo dnf install -y mongodb-org
```

## Run mongoDB
Currently some packages do not install, however those packages do not affect the functionality of MongoDB.

**Warning:** MongoDB does not guarantee compatibility with Fedora Linux, so newer MongoDB server packages might fail to install. [See MongoDB issue ticket SERVER-58871](https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-58870).

Start mongoDB service and after run mongoshell to test connection
## Enable MongoDB services
