Running MongoDB locally on Apple Silicion

Manually running as a background process

If your deployment does not use TLS connections

mongod --config /opt/homebrew/etc/mongod.conf --fork

# You can optionally specify the db path
mongod --dbpath /path/to/dbdir --logpath /path/to/mongodb.log --fork

To stop a mongod running as a background process, connect to the mongod using mongosh, and issue the shutdown command as needed

If your deployment uses TLS connections, use GNU Screen

# Start your screen
screen -S <name-of-screen>

# Start mongod
mongod --config /opt/homebrew/etc/mongod.conf

# Detach from screen
<Ctrl+a>, then <d>

# View all active screens
screen -ls

Running as a background macOS service

# start
brew services start [email protected]

# stop
brew services stop [email protected]
