Deploy MongoDB
Deploying a Charmed MongoDB replica set is a quite straightforward operation with Juju. In this page, you will learn how to deploy and track the charm’s status as Juju sets it up in the background.
Summary
Deploy a replica set
Deploy MongoDB with the following command:
juju deploy mongodb
Juju will fetch the charm from Charmhub and begin deploying it to the LXD cloud. This process can take several minutes depending on how provisioned (RAM, CPU, etc) your machine is.
Track deployment status
You can check the status of your deployment by running:juju status --watch 1s --relations
This will display a table with an overview of all the status info of the elements in your juju model, like IP addresses, ports, state, and other useful data. The --watch 1s flag means that it will update every 1s.
For this tutorial, it is recommended to have a separate terminal permanently set to juju status --watch 1s --relations so that you can see what is happening every time you make changes to your juju model. The --relations flag will display additional information regarding integrations (previously known as “relations”), which will be useful later on.
When your MongoDB application is ready, juju status --watch 1s will show something similar to sample output below:
Model Controller Cloud/Region Version SLA Timestamp
tutorial overlord localhost/localhost 3.4.0 unsupported 11:24:30Z
App Version Status Scale Charm Channel Rev Exposed Message
mongodb active 1 mongodb 6/stable 158 no

To exit the screen with juju status --watch 1s, enter Ctrl + C.
