Mongoku

MongoDB client for the web. Query your data directly from your browser. You can host it locally, or anywhere else, for you and your team.

It scales with your data (at Hugging Face we use it on a 1TB+ cluster) and is blazing fast for all operations, including sort/skip/limit. Built on TypeScript/Node.js/Angular.

Demo

MONGOKU_DEFAULT_HOST="mongodb://user:password@localhost:27017;localhost:27017"

# Use another port. (Default = 3100)
MONGOKU_SERVER_PORT=8000

# Use a specific file to store hosts (Default = $HOME/.mongoku.db)
MONGOKU_DATABASE_FILE="/tmp/mongoku.db"

# Timeout before falling back to estimated documents count in ms (Default = 5000)
MONGOKU_COUNT_TIMEOUT=1000

# Read-only mode
MONGOKU_READ_ONLY_MODE=true

# Timeout before aborting find query in ms (Default = 300000)
MONGOKU_QUERY_TIMEOUT=5000

# Session secret
MONGOKU_SESSION_SECRET="keyboard cat"

# Authentication endpoint. This address will be used to authenticate users
MONGOKU_AUTH_ENDPOINT=http://localhost/auth

# Disable authorization (allow any requests), useful for debugging environment
MONGOKU_DISABLE_AUTH=true

# MONGOKU_EXT_SESSION_COOKIE and MONGOKU_EXT_SESSION_ENDPOINT enable
# "external session auth" mode when a request to the api may be authorized
# using web session managed by another appication.

# If the given cookie is present on a request to the api
# mongoku server mades request to MONGOKU_EXT_SESSION_ENPOINT with that cookie

# or 40x code otherwise.
