HQ MongoDB installer

This project provides a standalone installer for MongoDB. This is designed for use in virtual machines.

It reads a configuration file and performs the following steps:

• Download a MongoDB binary distribution
• Unpack and install the MongoDB files
• Create a mongodb user
• Create directories under /var
• Create a config file
• Create an upstart script
• Ask upstart to start the service

Get it from GitHub or RubyGems.

The script takes a single argument, which is the configuration file to use.

The script requires full sudo access with no password.

Sample configuration files can be found in the test directory. The following example should also be indicative:

---
install:
  filename: mongodb-linux-x86_64-2.4.3.tgz
  dirname: mongodb-linux-x86_64-2.4.3
  sha1: 95bc0e0f66e64c66029b555726f4153e4b66c298
  urls:
  - http://192.168.222.1:8998/mongodb-linux-x86_64-2.4.3.tgz
  target: /opt/mongodb-2.4.3
user:
  name: mongodb
  create: true
dirs:
  - /var/log/mongodb
  - /var/run/mongodb
  - /var/lib/mongodb
servers:
  config:
	exec: mongod
	runlevels: 2345
	config: |
	  port = 27019
	  configsvr = true
	  logpath = /var/log/mongodb/mongodb.log
	  logappend = true
	  pidfilepath = /var/run/mongodb/mongodb.pid
	  dbpath = /var/lib/mongodb

You can start more than one server by adding more to the configuration file. They will each have their own upstart script and config file on the target host. You'll need to create separate data directories for each one.
