Installing latest version of MongoDB in Ubuntu 16.04
Execute the following series of commands one after another in sequence to install MongoDB 3.4 in Ubuntu 16.04 server
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80
echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.4.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
sudo service mongod start
sudo systemctl enable mongod.service
If you want to access mongoDB outside of the server then you need to change the bindIp to 0.0.0.0 to do that first open the mongodb.conf file with following command
sudo vi /etc/mongod.conf
Then locate the network interfaces section, there you should see something like below
# network interfaces
net:
port: 27017
bindIp: 127.0.0.1
Change the bindIp value from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0 which makes your mongoDB accessible from anywhere.
Note: Make sure you set the password before making your mongoDB open to the world.
