Does DigitalOcean support MongoDB?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 2:04 pm

DigitalOcean is a cloud computing platform that provides virtual servers, storage, and networking for web applications. MongoDB is a NoSQL database that stores data in JSON format. MongoDB has a schema-free model that makes it easier to develop and administer. DigitalOcean supports MongoDB through the provisioning of a VM and the addition of a MongoDB instance to the server.

PRO TIP: MongoDB is not a supported service on DigitalOcean. Any guides or tutorials that mention using MongoDB on DigitalOcean are outdated and no longer accurate.

The VM provisioning process automatically configures the VM with the appropriate drivers and software. The addition of a MongoDB instance is a manual process that requires the user to create a MongoDB instance, add the instance to the server, and set up the appropriate security settings. The DigitalOcean support team is available 24/7 to help users configure and administer their MongoDB instances.
