A Chef cookbook for restoring a mongodb database

Add to your Berksfile or Cheffile:

  cookbook 'mongodb-restore', :git => 'git://github.com/gesinger/chef-mongodb-restore.git'

Specify the attributes you want to use, and the mongodb-restore::default recipe in your run list (this example uses the vagrant synced folder):

  "mongodb_restore": {
    "db": "mydb",
    "collection": "mycollection",
    "file": "/vagrant/files/mongo_dump.bson"
  },
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[mongodb-restore::default]"
  ]

See full documentation for mongorestore for all available parameters.

• mongodb_restore[:file] - The location of the file to restore on the remote host
• mongodb_restore[:db] - The mongodb database name
• mongodb_restore[:collection] - The mongodb collection name
• mongodb_restore[:host]
• mongodb_restore[:port]
• mongodb_restore[:dbpath]
• mongodb_restore[:use_journal]
• mongodb_restore[:tail] - Any additional parameters you want to pass to mongorestore

mongodb-restore uses an internal cookbook for testing called mongodb-restore-test. This does some file copying and external cookbook running in order to properly test that the data was restored.

In order to test everything yourself:

• Check out the repo
• Run bundle install
• Run berks install
• Run kitchen test
