Create local Db

Specify a Directory

1. Create a new directory:

   mkdir ~/my_mongo_db

2. Run MongoDB with --dbpath (if you put db in Code/storalink_db): use absolute path

   mongod --dbpath=./Code/storalink_db

3. After updating the path, run like this (if you put db in Code/storalink_db):

mongod --dbpath=./Code/storalink_db

Get Dump from Cloud MangoDB:

Copy a MongoDB Atlas database to your local machine for testing, you can use the mongodump and mongorestore utilities. Here's how:

Step 1: Install MongoDB Command Line Tools

If you haven't installed the MongoDB command line tools, you can download them from the official MongoDB website.

Step 2: Get MongoDB Atlas Connection String

1. Log in to your MongoDB Atlas account.
2. Navigate to your cluster dashboard.
3. Click on the "CONNECT" button.
4. Choose "Connect using MongoDB Compass" to get the connection string.

The connection string will look something like this:

mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@cluster0.mongodb.net/<dbname>?retryWrites=true&w=majority

Step 3: Use mongodump to Download the Database

Open your terminal and run the following command:

mongodump --uri "mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@cluster0.mongodb.net/<dbname>?retryWrites=true&w=majority" --out /path/to/output/folder

• this output folder is better not be in your desinated database folder, this is only a dump *

Replace <username>, <password>, <dbname>, and /path/to/output/folder with your actual MongoDB Atlas username, password, database name, and the folder where you want to store the dump.

Step 4: Use mongorestore to Restore the Database Locally

After you've downloaded the database, you can restore it to your local MongoDB instance using the following command:

mongorestore --db database/path  ./dump/path

Step 5: Run local db:

mongod --dbpath=./Code/storalink_db
