MongoDB on Fedora 30
I found that MongoDB instructions changed significantly from a year ago. More or less, there was no pre-configured yum repository. Fortunately, the following web page was very helpful though not specific about Fedora.
Installing MongoDB 4.0 on Fedora 30 requires updating the yum repository. You need to create the mongodb.repo file as the root user in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory. The mongodb.repo file should contain the following:
[Mongodb] name=MongoDB Repository baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/amazon/2013.03/mongodb-org/4.0/x86_64/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.0.asc |
After you create the appropriate mongodb.repo file, you can run the following command to install the MongoDB database.
def install mongodb-org |
It will produce the following log:

You create a MongoDB service with the following syntax as a privileged user in the sudoer list:
sudo systemctl enable mongodb.service |
You can then start the mongod service with the following command as a privileged user in the sudoer list:
sudo systemctl start mongod.service |
You confirm that it started with the following command as the same privileged user:
sudo service mongod status |
It should produce a log file like this:
● mongod.service - SYSV: Mongo is a scalable, document-oriented database. Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/mongod; generated) Active: active (running) since Fri 2019-08-16 14:57:22 MDT; 2min 57s ago Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8) Process: 128115 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/mongod start (code=exited, stat> Tasks: 27 (limit: 4661) Memory: 47.0M CGroup: /system.slice/mongod.service └─128131 /usr/bin/mongod -f /etc/mongod.conf Aug 16 14:57:21 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Starting SYSV: Mongo is a > Aug 16 14:57:21 localhost.localdomain runuser[128127]: pam_unix(runuser:sess> Aug 16 14:57:22 localhost.localdomain runuser[128127]: pam_unix(runuser:sess> Aug 16 14:57:22 localhost.localdomain mongod[128115]: [30B blob data] Aug 16 14:57:22 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Started SYSV: Mongo is a s> lines 1-15/15 (END) |
You close the service log with a “q“. You can determine your version with the following command:
mongod --version |
It should show you something like this:
db version v4.0.12 git version: 5776e3cbf9e7afe86e6b29e22520ffb6766e95d4 OpenSSL version: OpenSSL 1.0.0-fips 29 Mar 2010 allocator: tcmalloc modules: none build environment: distmod: amazon distarch: x86_64 target_arch: x86_64 |
You can connect to the MongoDB shell with the following command:
mongo |
Inside the MongoDB shell, you can run standard MongoDB commands, like:
> use mydb; switched to db mydb > db.version() 4.0.12 > db.stats() { "db" : "mydb", "collections" : 0, "views" : 0, "objects" : 0, "avgObjSize" : 0, "dataSize" : 0, "storageSize" : 0, "numExtents" : 0, "indexes" : 0, "indexSize" : 0, "fileSize" : 0, "fsUsedSize" : 0, "fsTotalSize" : 0, "ok" : 1 } > quit() |
As always, I hope this helps those looking for the missing steps.
