adminMongo

adminMongo is a Web based user interface (GUI) to handle all your MongoDB connections/databases needs. adminMongo is fully responsive and should work on a range of devices.

adminMongo connection information (including username/password) is stored unencrypted in a config file, it is not recommended to run this application on a production or public facing server without proper security considerations.

Installation

1. Clone Repository: git clone https://github.com/mrvautin/adminMongo.git && cd adminMongo
2. Install dependencies: npm install
3. Start application: npm start
4. Visit http://127.0.0.1:1234 in your browser

Deploy on Heroku

Features

• Manage from a connection level for easy access to multiple databases
• Create/Delete databases
• Create/Delete/Edit collection
• Create/Delete/Edit documents
• Create/Delete indexes
• Query documents
• Collection statistics
• Export collections in JSON format

Current limitations

• Documents need to have an "_id" value which is a string, integer, or MongoDB ObjectId. Documents using Composite ID indexing is currently not supported.
• Connection strings with multiple hosts for replica sets are currently not supported.

Configuration

adminMongo will listen on host: localhost and port: 1234 by default. This can be overwritten by adding a config file in /config/app.json. The config file can also override the default 5 docs per page. The config file options are:

{
    "app": {
        "host": "10.0.0.1",
        "port": 4321,
        "docs_per_page": 15,
        "password": "secureadminpassword",
        "locale": "de"
    }
}

Note: Any changes to the config file requires a restart of the application

Language locale

Looking for people to translate into other languages. If you can help, grab the /locale/en.js file, translate to your language and submit a pull request.

The locale is automatically set to the detected locale of Nodejs. If there is not a translation, adminMongo will default to English. To override the detected locale a setting can be added to the app.json file. See Configuration section for a "German" example.

Authentication

By default adminMongo is not password protected. You can add password authentication by adding a password value to the /config/app.json file (See the Configuration section). Once added you will need to restart adminMongo and all routes will be protected until the correct password is added. You will then be authenticated for the life of the session (60 mins by default) or if the "Logout" link is clicked.

Usage

Create a connection

After visiting http://127.0.0.1:1234 you will be presented with a connection screen. You need to give your connection a unique name as a reference when using adminMongo and a MongoDB formatted connection string. The format of a MongoDB connection string can form: mongodb://<user>:<password>@127.0.0.1:<port>/<db> where specifying to the <db> level is optional. For more information on MongoDB connection strings, see the official MongoDB documentation.

Note: The connection can be either local or remote hosted on VPS or MongoDB service such as MongoLab.

The Connection setup screen

Connection/Database admin

After opening your newly created connection, you are able to see all database objects associated with your connection. Here you can create/delete collections, create/delete users and see various stats for your database.

Searching documents

You can search documents using the Search documents button on the collections screen. You will need to enter the key (field name) and value. Eg: key = "_id" and value = "569ff81e0077663d78a114ce".

You can clear your search by clicking the Reset button on the collections screen.
