Automated install of MongoDB Enterprise on IBM Z & LinuxONE

Summary

This is a quick and dirty automated install process for MongoDB on RHEL on s390x (IBM Z & LinuxONE) servers. It's needed because mongodb-enterprise is not included in the OS base repository. Hope it helps!

Assumptions

• This is running directly on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) server (tested on RHEL 8.10 & 9.6). You can run it from a remote controller, or against multiple servers, you'd just need to make some changes to the inventory.ini file.
• You have passwordless sudo access.
• This is not a production server. This is an opinionated install, so if there's actual important workload on the server you're installing to, make sure this won't mess things up for you.

1) Become root

sudo -i

2) Install git

Will only install if you don't have it already

command -v git >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "git already installed" || sudo dnf install -y git

3) Clone this git repository:

git clone https://github.com/jacobemery/mongodb.git

4) Open the cloned folder:

cd mongodb

5) Run the setup script to install pre-reqs (Ansible & Python)

Will only install pre-reqs if you don't have them already

./setup.sh

6) Run the playbooks:

To install MongoDB Enterprise with Ansible with defaults:

ansible-playbook install.yml

Optionally, specify the desired major.minor version (default version is 8.2), i.e.

ansible-playbook install.yml -e version=8.0

Optionally, to get more output, (helpful for debugging) add -v for verbosity, more Vs = more output, i.e.

ansible-playbook install.yml -vvv

To uninstall:

ansible-playbook uninstall.yml
