mongodb.conf

File Location And Role

The file lives at /data/etc/mongodb.conf. It can be provisioned using /boot/mongodb.conf and uses /etc/mongodb.conf as a default. The file is not present by default and should be created by the user, if mongodb is needed.

If the file is present, the mongod daemon will be started to run the Mongo DB server on your system.

Note that mongodb package is not enabled by default in thingOS. You'll need to enable it in your configurations to have this functionality.

File Format

The configuration file uses the YAML format.
