# MongoDB
[MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com/) 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, making the integration of data in certain types of applications easier and faster.
## TL;DR;
```bash
$ helm install stable/mongodb
```
## Introduction
This chart bootstraps a [MongoDB](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mongodb) deployment on a [Kubernetes](http://kubernetes.io) cluster using the [Helm](https://helm.sh) package manager.
## Prerequisites
- Kubernetes 1.4+ with Beta APIs enabled
- PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure
## Installing the Chart
To install the chart with the release name `my-release`:
```bash
$ helm install --name my-release stable/mongodb
```
The command deploys MongoDB on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The [configuration](#configuration) section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.
> **Tip**: List all releases using `helm list`
## Uninstalling the Chart
To uninstall/delete the `my-release` deployment:
```bash
$ helm delete my-release
```
The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.
## Configuration
The following tables lists the configurable parameters of the MongoDB chart and their default values.
| Parameter | Description | Default |
|----------------------------|-------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------|
| `image` | MongoDB image | `bitnami/mongodb:{VERSION}` |
| `imagePullPolicy` | Image pull policy | `Always` if `imageTag` is `latest`, else `IfNotPresent`. |
| `mongodbRootPassword` | MongoDB admin password | `nil` |
| `mongodbUsername` | MongoDB custom user | `nil` |
| `mongodbPassword` | MongoDB custom user password | `nil` |
| `mongodbDatabase` | Database to create | `nil` |
| `serviceType` | Kubernetes Service type | `ClusterIP` |
| `persistence.enabled` | Use a PVC to persist data | `true` |
| `persistence.storageClass` | Storage class of backing PVC | `nil` (uses alpha storage class annotation) |
| `persistence.accessMode` | Use volume as ReadOnly or ReadWrite | `ReadWriteOnce` |
| `persistence.size` | Size of data volume | `8Gi` |
The above parameters map to the env variables defined in [bitnami/mongodb](http://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mongodb). For more information please refer to the [bitnami/mongodb](http://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mongodb) image documentation.
Specify each parameter using the `--set key=value[,key=value]` argument to `helm install`. For example,
```bash
$ helm install --name my-release \
--set mongodbRootPassword=secretpassword,mongodbUsername=my-user,mongodbPassword=my-password,mongodbDatabase=my-database \
stable/mongodb
```
The above command sets the MongoDB `root` account password to `secretpassword`. Additionally it creates a standard database user named `my-user`, with the password `my-password`, who has access to a database named `my-database`.
Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,
```bash
$ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml stable/mongodb
```
> **Tip**: You can use the default [values.yaml](values.yaml)
## Persistence
The [Bitnami MongoDB](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mongodb) image stores the MongoDB data and configurations at the `/bitnami/mongodb` path of the container.
The chart mounts a [Persistent Volume](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/persistent-volumes/) volume at this location. The volume is created using dynamic volume provisioning.
