MongoDB Atlas

MongoDB Atlas is a hosted MongoDB service option in the cloud which requires no installation overhead and offers a free tier to get started.

Use this tutorial to install MongoDB 6.0 Community Edition on LTS (long-term support) releases of Ubuntu Linux using the apt package manager.

This tutorial installs MongoDB 6.0 Community Edition. To install a different version of MongoDB Community, use the version drop-down menu in the upper-left corner of this page to select the documentation for that version.

EOL Notice

MongoDB 5.0 Community Edition removes support for Ubuntu 16.04 on x86_64

MongoDB 5.0 Community Edition removes support for Ubuntu 18.04 on s390x

MongoDB 6.0 Community Edition supports the following 64-bit Ubuntu LTS (long-term support) releases on x86_64 architecture:

22.04 LTS (“Jammy”) (Starting in MongoDB 6.0.4)

20.04 LTS (“Focal”)

18.04 LTS (“Bionic”)

16.04 LTS (“Xenial”)

MongoDB only supports the 64-bit versions of these platforms.

MongoDB 6.0 Community Edition on Ubuntu also supports the ARM64 architecture on select platforms.

See Platform Support for more information.

Before deploying MongoDB in a production environment, consider the Production Notes document which offers performance considerations and configuration recommendations for production MongoDB deployments.

To install MongoDB Community on your Ubuntu system, these instructions will use the official mongodb-org package, which is maintained and supported by MongoDB Inc. The official mongodb-org package always contains the latest version of MongoDB, and is available from its own dedicated repo.

Important

The mongodb package provided by Ubuntu is not maintained by MongoDB Inc. and conflicts with the official mongodb-org package. If you have already installed the mongodb package on your Ubuntu system, you must first uninstall the mongodb package before proceeding with these instructions.

See MongoDB Community Edition Packages for the complete list of official packages.

Follow these steps to install MongoDB Community Edition using the apt package manager.

From a terminal, install gnupg and curl if they are not already available:

Issue the following command to import the MongoDB public GPG Key from https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-6.0.asc:

Create the list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-6.0.list for your version of Ubuntu.

Click on the appropriate tab for your version of Ubuntu. If you are unsure of what Ubuntu version the host is running, open a terminal or shell on the host and execute lsb_release -dc.

Create the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-6.0.list file for Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy):

Issue the following command to reload the local package database:

You can install either the latest stable version of MongoDB or a specific version of MongoDB.

To install a specific release, you must specify each component package individually along with the version number, as in the following example:

If you only install mongodb-org=6.0.8 and do not include the component packages, the latest version of each MongoDB package will be installed regardless of what version you specified.

Optional. Although you can specify any available version of MongoDB, apt-get will upgrade the packages when a newer version becomes available. To prevent unintended upgrades, you can pin the package at the currently installed version:

For help with troubleshooting errors encountered while installing MongoDB on Ubuntu, see our troubleshooting guide.

ulimit Considerations

Most Unix-like operating systems limit the system resources that a process may use. These limits may negatively impact MongoDB operation, and should be adjusted. See UNIX ulimit Settings for the recommended settings for your platform.

Note

Starting in MongoDB 4.4, a startup error is generated if the ulimit value for number of open files is under 64000.

Directories

If you installed via the package manager, the data directory /var/lib/mongodb and the log directory /var/log/mongodb are created during the installation.

By default, MongoDB runs using the mongodb user account. If you change the user that runs the MongoDB process, you must also modify the permission to the data and log directories to give this user access to these directories.

Configuration File

The official MongoDB package includes a configuration file (/etc/mongod.conf). These settings (such as the data directory and log directory specifications) take effect upon startup. That is, if you change the configuration file while the MongoDB instance is running, you must restart the instance for the changes to take effect.

Follow these steps to run MongoDB Community Edition on your system. These instructions assume that you are using the official mongodb-org package – not the unofficial mongodb package provided by Ubuntu – and are using the default settings.

Init System

To run and manage your mongod process, you will be using your operating system’s built-in init system. Recent versions of Linux tend to use systemd (which uses the systemctl command), while older versions of Linux tend to use System V init (which uses the service command).

If you are unsure which init system your platform uses, run the following command:

Then select the appropriate tab below based on the result:

systemd - select the systemd (systemctl) tab below.

init - select the System V Init (service) tab below.

You can start the mongod process by issuing the following command:

If you receive an error similar to the following when starting mongod:

Failed to start mongod.service: Unit mongod.service not found.

Run the following command first:

Then run the start command above again.

You can optionally ensure that MongoDB will start following a system reboot by issuing the following command:

As needed, you can stop the mongod process by issuing the following command:

You can restart the mongod process by issuing the following command:

You can follow the state of the process for errors or important messages by watching the output in the /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log file.

To completely remove MongoDB from a system, you must remove the MongoDB applications themselves, the configuration files, and any directories containing data and logs. The following section guides you through the necessary steps.

Warning

This process will completely remove MongoDB, its configuration, and all databases. This process is not reversible, so ensure that all of your configuration and data is backed up before proceeding.

Stop the mongod process by issuing the following command:

Remove any MongoDB packages that you had previously installed.

Remove MongoDB databases and log files.

By default, MongoDB launches with bindIp set to 127.0.0.1, which binds to the localhost network interface. This means that the mongod can only accept connections from clients that are running on the same machine. Remote clients will not be able to connect to the mongod, and the mongod will not be able to initialize a replica set unless this value is set to a valid network interface.

This value can be configured either:

in the MongoDB configuration file with bindIp, or

via the command-line argument -bind_ip

For more information on configuring bindIp, see IP Binding.
