Run Percona Server for MongoDB Pro in Docker

You can run Percona Server for MongoDB Pro in Docker using the official image available in a private registry on Docker Hub.

We gather Telemetry data to understand the use of the software and improve our products.x

To access this image, you must authenticate in DockerHub. For this you must have a valid Percona Server for MongoDB Pro subscription.

Authenticate in Docker Hub

1. Contact your Percona Representative to get authentication credentials for Docker Hub. You will receive a username and an access token.

2. Authenticate in Docker Hub:

   $ docker login --username <Username> 
   

   When prompted for a password, enter your access token.

Run Percona Server for MongoDB Pro

To run Percona Server for MongoDB Pro in Docker, use the following command:

$ docker run -d --name psmdb-pro -p 27017:27017 --restart always percona/percona-server-mongodb-pro:<TAG>

The command does the following:

• The docker run command instructs the docker daemon to run a container from an image.

• The -d option starts the container in detached mode (that is, in the background).

• The --name option assigns a custom name for the container that you can use to reference the container within a Docker network. In this case: psmdb-pro.

• The -p option binds the container’s port 27017 to TCP port 27017 on all host network interfaces. This makes the container accessible externally.

• The --restart option defines the container’s restart policy. Setting it to always ensures that the Docker daemon will start the container on startup and restart it if the container exits.

• percona/percona-server-mongodb-pro is the name of the image to derive the container from.

• <TAG> is the tag specifying the version you need. For example, 6.0.24-19. Docker automatically identifies the architecture (x86_64 or ARM64) and pulls the respective image. See the full list of tags.

Access the container shell

Run the following command to start the bash session and run commands inside the container:

$ docker exec -it <container-name>

where <container-name> is the name of your database container.

For example, to connect to Percona Server for MongoDB, run:

$ mongosh
