This repo contains all the materials for the course MongoDB for Java Developers, in order to run a MongoDb in a docker container, import provided data, connect to the created atlas cluster and complete the tickets.

Docker

The docker-compose materials is located at docker folder, they contain:

• The docker-compose.yml file which runs the latest mongodb database

Running the container

To run the container go to the docker folder and then run the following command in a CLI:

$ docker-compose up

Or to run in detached mode (background):

$ docker-compose up -d

After successfully run the container, run the following command and copy the CONTAINER ID:

$ docker container ls

Connecting to my Atlas cluster

Now run the following command to connect to the Atlas cluster:

$ docker exec -it [REPLACE_WITH_CONTAINER_ID] mongo "mongodb+srv://mflix-qkurq.mongodb.net/test" --username m220student --password [REPLACE_WITH_PASSWORD]

To get the password go to the protected link https://thinfi.com/9jsj and copy the password provided in the step 7.

Importing provided data to Atlas cluster

After connect to Atlas cluster, run the following commands to import the data to the Atlas cluster:

$ cd handouts/mflix-java
$ docker cp data/ [REPLACE_WITH_CONTAINER_ID]:/

Check if the data folder is in the correct path using the command:

$ docker diff [REPLACE_WITH_CONTAINER_ID]

And then use mongorestore to import the data:

$ docker exec -it [REPLACE_WITH_CONTAINER_ID] mongorestore --drop --gzip --uri mongodb+srv://m220student:[email protected] data

Running the Application

In the mflix-java/src/main/resources directory you can find a file called application.properties.

Open this file and enter your Atlas SRV connection string as directed in the comment. This is the information the driver will use to connect. Make sure not to wrap your Atlas SRV connection between quotes:

spring.mongodb.uri=mongodb+srv://m220student:[REPLACE_WITH_PASSWORD]@mflix-qkurq.mongodb.net

Run the application with maven:

$ cd handouts/mflix-java
$ mvn spring-boot:run

And then point your browser to http://localhost:5000/.
