# What is MongoDB?
|
|
|
|
MongoDB (from "humongous") is a cross-platform document-oriented database.
|
|
Classified as a NoSQL database, MongoDB eschews the traditional table-based
|
|
relational database structure in favor of JSON-like documents with dynamic
|
|
schemas (MongoDB calls the format BSON), making the integration of data in
|
|
certain types of applications easier and faster. Released under a combination of
|
|
the GNU Affero General Public License and the Apache License, MongoDB is free
|
|
and open-source software.
|
|
|
|
First developed by the software company 10gen (now MongoDB Inc.) in October 2007
|
|
as a component of a planned platform as a service product, the company shifted
|
|
to an open source development model in 2009, with 10gen offering commercial
|
|
support and other services. Since then, MongoDB has been adopted as backend
|
|
software by a number of major websites and services, including Craigslist, eBay,
|
|
Foursquare, SourceForge, Viacom, and the New York Times, among others. MongoDB
|
|
is the most popular NoSQL database system.

# How to use this image
|
|
|
|
## start a mongo instance
|
|
|
|
docker run --name some-mongo -d mongo
|
|
|
|
This image includes `EXPOSE 27017` (the mongo port), so standard container
|
|
linking will make it automatically available to the linked containers (as the
|
|
following examples illustrate).
|
|
|
|
## connect to it from an application
|
|
|
|
docker run --name some-app --link some-mongo:mongo -d application-that-uses-mongo
|
|
|
|
## ... or via `mongo`
|
|
|
|
docker run -it --link some-mongo:mongo --rm mongo sh -c 'exec mongo "$MONGO_PORT_27017_TCP_ADDR:$MONGO_PORT_27017_TCP_PORT/test"'
