Install Docker as instructed here
For Ubuntu 14.04:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://p80.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-keys 58118E89F3A912897C070ADBF76221572C52609D
Insert the above line in file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list:
deb https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo ubuntu-trusty main
Then:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-$(uname -r) linux-image-extra-virtual
$ sudo apt-get install docker-engine
$ sudo service docker start
Clone the repository and build the container:
$ git clone https://github.com/dmazzer/nors-mongodb.git
$ cd nors-mongodb
$ docker build --rm -t nors-mongodb .
Create a directory to persist MongoDB storage files:
$ sudo mkdir -p /opt/nors/db
$ chown -R [user]:[user] /opt/nors/db
Run the container:
This command will start the mongodb server for the first time and will map the container port 27017 to host port 47017:
$ docker run -rm -ti --name=nors-mongodb -p 47017:27017 -v /opt/nors/db nors-mongodb
After the first time the container named as nors-mongodb was used, it can be started as a daemon with the command:
$ docker run -ti -d -p 47017:27017 -v /opt/nors/db:/data/db nors-mongodb
If -v flag is omitted the MongoDB database will be lost when the container is shutdown.
To test the container access mongodb-server from the host:
$ mongo localhost:47017
