in QTS, already have the MongoDB qpkg in the app center,

in this article will introduce how to setup MongoDB by using Container Station

Step_1: Open Container Station and Set Up MongoDB

• Click "Container Station".
  
• Click "Create Container".
  
• Go to MongoDB and click "Install" (Click "MongoDB" for more information).
  
• Click "Create"
• This will install an empty container. You will need to install, remove, and then install a new MongoDB.
  
• Choose the container and remove it.
  
  
  
• Choose "Create Container", and click "Install" to rebuild the MongoDB.
  
• In Command, enter "mongod --auth".
  
• Click "Advanced Settings".
  
• Go to "Network", enter a value for the MongoDB "port" number (for example: 37011).
  
• Go to "Shared Folder", and click "Add".
  
• In "Volume from host" choose the folder you established earlier (for example: Container > Mongo DB > db).
  
• In "Mount Point" enter "/data/db".
  
• In "Volume from host" choose the folder you established earlier (for example: Container > Mongo DB > configdb).
• In "Mount Point" enter "/data/configdb".
  The purpose of adding these commands are for easy backup and modification
• Click "Create"
  

Step_2: Set up MongoDB account and permissions

• You may refer MongoDB DockerHub instructions for more information on setting access controls.
  
• Establish an account: In your MongoDB container, click "Terminal", enter "mongo admin", and click "OK".
  
• Enter the command " db.createUser({ user: 'input account', pwd: 'input password', roles: [ { role: "userAdminAnyDatabase", db: "admin" } ] }); ".
  
• Return to the MongoDB container, click "Terminal" and enter the command "mongo -u input account -p input password --authenticationDatabase admin".
• Click "OK".
  
• Enter the command "use database name" (for example: "use qiotdatabase"). 
• Enter the command "db.createUser({ user: "input account of DB ", pwd: "input password of DB", roles: [ { role: "dbOwner", db: "input the DB name you established previously"}]});"
  
  (When you "establish another new account and password", it cannot be the same as the previously created user account (for example: "qiotduser")).
