mongo-embedded

A Rust library that simplifies using MongoDB for local testing and development by automatically downloading, extracting, and running a MongoDB Community Edition binary.

It handles:

• OS/Arch Detection: Automatically selects the correct binary for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
• Downloading: Fetches the binary from the official MongoDB download center.
• Extraction: Unpacks .tgz or .zip archives.
• Execution: Starts the mongod process on a specified port.

Usage

Installation

Run the following command in your project directory:

cargo add mongo-embedded

Or add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
mongo-embedded = "1.0.0"
tokio = { version = "1.0", features = ["full"] } # Required for the example below

Example

use mongo_embedded::MongoEmbedded;
use tokio::time::{sleep, Duration};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let mongo = MongoEmbedded::new("7.0.2").unwrap()
        .set_port(12345);

    let mut process = mongo.start().await.expect("Failed to start MongoDB");
    
    // MongoDB is running at mongodb://127.0.0.1:12345/

    sleep(Duration::from_secs(5)).await;
    process.kill().expect("Failed to kill MongoDB process");
}

With Download Progress

use mongo_embedded::{MongoEmbedded, DownloadProgress};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let mongo = MongoEmbedded::new("7.0.2").unwrap();

    let mut process = mongo.start_with_progress(|progress: DownloadProgress| {
        if let Some(pct) = progress.percentage {
            println!("Downloading: {:.1}%", pct);
        } else {
            println!("Downloaded: {} bytes", progress.downloaded);
        }
    }).await.expect("Failed to start MongoDB");

    process.kill().expect("Failed to kill MongoDB process");
}
    process.kill().expect("Failed to kill MongoDB process");
}

Check if Installed

You can check if the MongoDB binary for the specified version is already downloaded and extracted:

let mongo = MongoEmbedded::new("7.0.2").unwrap();
if mongo.is_installed() {
    println!("MongoDB is ready to start");
}

Unix Sockets / Custom Bind IP

You can configure the bind IP address. This is useful for security (binding only to localhost) or for using Unix domain sockets (on Unix-like systems) to avoid opening a TCP port.

// Use a Unix socket
let mongo = MongoEmbedded::new("7.0.2").unwrap()
    .set_bind_ip("/tmp/mongodb-27017.sock");

// Or bind to a specific IP
// let mongo = mongo.set_bind_ip("127.0.0.1"); 

Configuration

The library uses the directories crate to find suitable locations for:

• Cache: Stores downloaded archives (e.g., ~/.cache/mongo-embedded on Linux).
• Data: Stores the database files (e.g., ~/.local/share/mongo-embedded on Linux).
