MongoFe

This is a simple Sinatra based web front-end that can be used for experimenting and learning MongoDB. The MongoFe gem can also be used for simple administrative tasks, managing collections and document basic operations such as: create new documents, delete existing ones, search by various criteria and document indexing.

$ gem install mongo_fe

Create a file in your home directory called: .mongo_fe

In this file add the following:

uri: mongodb://localhost:27017

Examples:

uri: mongodb://nemo:clownfish@ds02231897.mongolab.com:33897/Reef

Verify first that you have access to a MongoDB instance. See the install guides, if need be. I used the Homebrew package manager to install mongodb. If you have Homebrew, run the following commands:

$ brew update
$ brew install mongodb

To start the MongoFe web server:

$ mongofe

or you can start the web server pointing it to a remote MongoDB url, example:

$ mongofe -C mongodb://sheppard:arterius@masseffect3.mongolab.com:33897/datamelee
$ mongofe -C mongodb://Genetically:Enhanced@"spiritual_successor.mongohq.com:10075/BioShock

(fictive links, real syntax)

MongoFe works well with remote MongoDB instances, see: mongolab.com or mongohq.com, for example.

To stop the server:

$ mongofe -K

In the mean time, I'd love for you to check out these screenshots to get a feel for MongoFe and see some of the administrative interfaces designed to make your day to day tasks easier.
