Connect to your Public Cloud Databases for MongoDB using MongoDB Compass
Last updated 27th July 2022
Objective
Public Cloud Databases allow you to focus on building and deploying cloud applications while OVHcloud takes care of the database infrastructure and maintenance in operational conditions.
This guide explains how to connect to a MongoDB database instance with one of the world's most famous Open Source (SSPL) management tool for MongoDB: MongoDB Compass.
Requirements
- A Public Cloud project in your OVHcloud account
- Access to the OVHcloud Control Panel
- A MongoDB database running on your OVHcloud Public Cloud Databases (this guide can help you to meet this requirement)
- Configure your MongoDB instance to accept incoming connections
- A MongoDB Compass stable version installed and public network connectivity (Internet). This guide was made in MongoDB Compass version 1.30.1.
Concept
A MongoDB instance can be managed through multiple ways. One of the easiest, yet powerful, is to use a Command Line Interface (CLI), as shown in our guide: Connect to MongoDB with CLI or by using programming languages, such as PHP or Python.
Another way is to interact directly using a management tool for MongoDB: MongoDB Compass.
In order to do so, we will need to install MongoDB Compass, then configure our Public Cloud Databases for MongoDB instances to accept incoming connections, and finally configure MongoDB.
Instructions
