How to connect Robomongo to MongoDB

Question

I am having MongoDB and Robomongo in my running system, I am using Robomongo as client, I have installed MongoDB on different system which I am treating as server, I want to

Answer 1

Robomongo 0.8.5 definitely works with MongoDB 3.X (mine version of mongoDB is 3.0.7, the newest one).

The following steps should be done to connect to mongodb server:

1. Install Mongodb server (on Windows, Linux... your choice)
2. Run Mongodb server. Don't set net.bind_ip = 127.0.0.1 if you want the client to connect to the server by server's own ip-address!
3. Connect to the server from Robomongo with the server ip + set authentication if needed.

Answer 2

Currently, Robomongo 0.8.x doesn't work with MongoDB 3.0 :: - Mongodb & Robomongo: Can't connect (authentication) - https://github.com/paralect/robomongo/issues/766

For now, don't use Robomongo, for me, the best solution for me is to use mongochef : http://3t.io/mongochef/

Answer 3

Have encountered any specific error so far?! btw, here's what we do:

• Create a new connection, set the name, IP address and the appropriate port

• Setup authentication, if required

• Optionally setup other available settings for SSL, SSH, etc.

• Save and connect

1. Comment out /etc/mongod.conf file's bind_ip
2. Download https://download.robomongo.org/0.9.0-rc9/windows/robomongo-0.9.0-rc9-windows-x86_64-0bb5668.exe

3. Connection TAB:

   3.1 Name ( whatever )

   3.2 Address ( IP of server ) : Port number ( 27017 )

4. SSH TAB ( I used my normal putty connection details )

   4.1 SSH Address : [ IP of server ]

   4.2 SSH User Name [ User Name ]

   4.3 User Password [ password ]
