Start mongod service at system startup

Question

I recently updated mongodb, and I run Linux Mint (an Ubuntu based system) and every time I start it up, i cannot use Robomongo because the service mongod is not automatically started; every time I need to open up a terminal and use

sudo service mongod start

Is there a way to start mongod automatically at system start?

Solution 1

You can either put the command in your /etc/bashrc script under and if condition i.e. if the mongod process is not already running, then start it.

Other way is to modify your /etc/rc.local and add the command to start mongod in that file. It will start at bootup.

Solution 2

Use the following command to autostart mongodb when system start.

systemctl enable mongod.service

sudo systemctl enable mongod && sudo systemctl start mongod

at last I used the second option, since I opened /etc/bash.bashrc (I don't have a bashrc file) and I found it way too complex to edit. Thanks!

[Don Diego]

that's strange, it works on reboot, but ater turning off the pc and restarting it the day after, it doesn't work anymore. Don't know why!

there's no systemctl on ubuntu (mint)

Works for debian

[Don Diego]

Yeah, but I asked for linux mint, not for debian.

I used this command but it seems run without any error message, however I typed "mongo" I got this error:MongoDB shell version v4.2.8 connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/?compressors=disabled&gssapiServic‌​eName=mongodb 2020-07-12T19:33:16.990+0430 E QUERY [js] Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017, connection attempt failed: SocketException: Error connecting to 127.0.0.1:27017 :: caused by :: Connection refused :

@PredatorX systemctl start mongod and after that: mongo

@Don Diego I'm using ubuntu (mint), it has the systemctl command.
