Hands-On Microservices with Kotlin

Starting our database server

First, we will create a directory that we can use to store our data, so under the Mongo bin directory, we will execute the following command:

mkdir data

Now, we can start our database with this command:

mongod -dbpath data

This will output several log lines, and at the end, we should see something like:

I NETWORK  [thread1] waiting for connections on port 27017

This server will run until we press Ctrl + C, but for now, let's keep it open.
