markdown OS X上的mongo自动启动

Posted 2021-05-06

### Install with Homebrew

    brew install mongodb

Set up launchctl to auto start `mongod`

    $ ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/mongodb/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents

`/usr/local/opt/mongodb/` is a symlink to `/usr/local/Cellar/mongodb/x.y.z` (e.g., `2.4.9`)

You can use launchctl to start and stop `mongod`

    $ launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mongodb.plist
    $ launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mongodb.plist
    
You can also more conveniently use `brew` to start, stop, and verify service status

    $ brew services list | grep mongodb
    $ brew services start mongodb
    $ brew services stop mongodb

#### Notes

The default plist provided by homebrew stores the mongod configuration at `/usr/local/etc/mongod.conf`. This configuration specifies the `dbpath` to be `/usr/local/var/mongodb` instead of the default `/data/db`.
