m-mongo

MongoDB migration command line tools for dump restore export and import databases

Requirements

You should have rsync installed on you machine

# on windows with chocolatey
choco install rsync

Also the binary of mongodump and mongorestore must be present in your path.

Then if you need to access MongoDb into a Remote Machine, make sure you have set up an SSH key on the server.

Introduction

Bored to dump, restore or copy collections between different environments?

m-mongo is here to help with these frequent operations.

Let's start by installing it:

npm i -g @tonillo/m-mongo
# or with yarn
yarn global install @tonillo/m-mongo

Now open a terminal or prompt and type m-mongo.

We can set up an optional folder where dumps are stored, otherwise by default the dump files will be stored in the current folder.

We can now add a cluster.

All the information that you are inserting, are stored in a json file under ~/.config/configstore/m-mongo.json.

Now we can make a dump.

Finally we can restore the dump.
