mongo-supervisor aims at providing a simple but flexible supervisor for Docker containers running mongodb.

It runs mongodb, and provides a rest api that can be called from any http client, for instance with basic curl, to start/stop mongo, create a backup with mongodump, and restore a backup with mongorestore.

a build.js script file provides several targets:

• package: copies a minimal version of mongo-supervisor in a directory, along with its start script. You may find it useful to copy it in your own container.

• docker-create: creates a docker image based on the docker/Dockerfile recipe. It uses the default mongodb configuration file, so you may want to tune that part.

• docker-run: creates a docker image, and run it. The docker container is temporary, as soon as the script ends, it is killed and removed.

Possible options: --open-api -O : Open rest api (no security check) [docker] --sec-headers -h HEAD:VALUE : define security header and value [docker] --tag -t tag : user this tag as the image name [docker] --sudo-docker -s : docker needs to be run with sudo [docker] --location -l : directory where to create the package [package only]

Example:

• node build docker-run -O creates and runs a docker container with mongo-supervisor, until you ctrl-c.

The security can be configured in the configuration file (namely mongosupervisor.yaml) or during the build. The security options are:

• open api: just no security at all. The default is no access, so you need to be explicit if you want to make it widely open. In the build script: use the --open-api or -O flag. In the configuration file: change the security part to be security: open: true

• Headers: mongo-supervisors checks that a given http header is provided with a given value. This is typically useful for clients using a TLS connection. In the build script: use the --open-api or -O flag. In the configuration file: change the security part to be

    security:
        header-key-name: "SomeHeaderName"
        header-key-value: "some secret value"

for instance:

        header-key-name: "X-ACCESS"
        header-key-value: "efb92b97a659bf04ac599bac68e36559fec30eafd63381bf19513c82b290c765"
