Lack of structure is a doubled-edge sword. To illustrate, let's consider a scenario from our time. As a result, a number of analytical tools continue to thrive, solving for the challenge of dealing with MongoDB's NoSQL-ness. That's your choice and your responsibility.Five years ago, MongoDB detailed new enhancements that enabled it to work with standard relational reporting tools like Cognos, Tableau, and Business Objects. I'm ok with this situation at home, but I would never do that in a professional environment. So the only machines that are able to access my mongodb server are the ones that are already connected to my local network. For instance, the firewall on my internet router blocks the 2707 ports. This is bad practice, but you might find it acceptable if your local network is protected by a firewall. This means that in principle, anybody will be able to connect to the server. We are now opening our mongodb ports to remote connections, and we have not secured our mongodb server. The next two lines open the two mongodb ports to the outside world. It's very important to add this rule before enabling ufw if you need remote ssh access to the computer. The first line allow ssh connections from the outside. That's not a problem, as mongodb is included in the raspbian distribution. Still, it could be more than enough for a pi-based project, which by essence is probably not too ambitious.Īlso, MongoDB does not provide a package for the raspberry pi. And in this version, the amount of data that can be stored in the database is Therefore, we can only install the 32 bit version of mongoDB. One thing to keep in mind is that Raspian is a 32 bit system. Now we move on to the installation of mongoDB. I've explained the headless install on a raspberry pi zero W, but the method works just as well on the 3B+. Standard method to install Raspbian on the pi Installation of mongoDB on a Raspberry Piįirst of all, querying a database can be an expensive operation, so I suggest you to choose the relatively powerful raspberry pi 3B+. However, we are not going to deal with the security of the mongodb server. Provide remote access to the mongodb server running on the pi. That's easy, but there are a couple things to know.

And simultaneously, you can analyse this data remotely from your laptop. You can set up your database on the pi, which consumes so little power that you can afford to leave it always on to log your data. , and you have seen how easy it is to set up a database forĪctually, the two work very well together.
