Configuration

mongobar comes with a default configuration that defines a Connection for a MongoDB server running on localhost:27017 with authentication disabled. Here is what that config looks like:

{
    "root": "~/.mongobar_backups",
    "log_level": "INFO",
    "connections": {
        "default": {
            "host": "localhost",
            "port": 27017
        }
    }
}

The default connection can be overridden and additional connections can be added by writing a config file. Here is an example of a custom config:

{
    "connections": {
        "default": {
            "host": "localhost",
            "port": 27017,
            "username": "user",
            "password": "pass",
            "authdb": "admin"
        },
        "production": {
            "host": "102.100.204.35",
            "port": 27017,
            "username": "user",
            "password": "pass",
            "authdb": "admin"
        }
    }
}

mongobar will try to load a config file from ~/.mongobar_config.json by default. This path can be changed by using the --config flag. The current configuration can be viewed by running the config action.

Connections

mongobar uses the connection action to view and set the current connection. This attribute is used by actions backup, restore, remove, backups, hosts, and meta. Connections are defined in the configuration file and can be viewed by running the config action.
