Always start Mongodb

Question

Whenever I will use Mongodb in a local development environment, I have to open the terminal and type:

mongod

So you can use Mongodb’s services.

Since my operating system is Windows10 (64 bit), how do I always start this process automatically, without having to keep a terminal open only to run the mongod?

In this context, if I want to disable this automatic startup, as would the procedure?

Answer 1

You can set mongoDB as a service, to be booted together with Windows.

mongod --dbpath "{{seu_diretorio_do_mongo}}" --logpath "{{seu_diretorio_do_mongo}}\logs.txt" --install --serviceName "MongoDB"

Then, on the windows service screen, you can set the service to automatic startup.
