adminMongo is a Web based user interface (GUI) to handle all your MongoDB connections/databases needs. adminMongo is fully responsive and should work on a range of devices.
adminMongo connection information (including username/password) is stored unencrypted in a config file, it is not recommended to run this application on a production or public facing server without proper security considerations.
- Clone Repository:
git clone https://github.com/mrvautin/adminMongo.git && cd adminMongo - Install dependencies:
npm install - Start application:
npm start - Visit http://127.0.0.1:1234 in your browser
- Manage from a connection level for easy access to multiple databases
- Create/Delete databases
- Create/Delete/Edit collection
- Create/Delete/Edit documents
- Create/Delete indexes
- Query documents
- Collection statistics
- Export collections in JSON format
- Documents need to have an "_id" value which is a string, integer, or MongoDB ObjectId. Documents using Composite ID indexing is currently not supported.
- Connection strings with multiple hosts for replica sets are currently not supported.
adminMongo will listen on host: localhost and port: 1234 by default. This can be overwritten by adding a config file in /config/app.json. For example:
{
"app": {
"host": "10.0.0.1",
"port": 4321,
"docs_per_page": 15,
"password": "secureadminpassword",
"locale": "de",
"context": "dbApp"
}
}
Note: Any changes to the config file requires a restart of the application
The config file (optional) options are:
| Option | Definition |
|---|---|
host |
The IP address adminMongo will listen on |
port |
The Port adminMongo will listen on |
docs_per_page |
When viewing docs you can specify how many are shown per page |
password |
An application level password to add simply authentication |
locale |
The locale is automatically set to the detected locale of Nodejs. If there is not a translation, adminMongo will default to English. This setting overrides the default/detected value |
context |
Setting a context of "dbApp" is like changing the base URL of the app and will mean the app will listen on http://10.0.0.1:4321/dbApp. Ommiting a context will mean the application will listen on root. Eg: http://10.0.0.1:4321. This setting can be useful when running adminMongo behind Nginx etc. |
Setting a context of "dbApp" is like changing the base URL of the app and will mean the app will listen on http://10.0.0.1:4321/dbApp. Ommiting a context will mean the application will listen on

An example Nginx server block. Note the location /dbApp { and proxy_pass http://10.0.0.1:4321/dbApp; lines match
the context set in the /config/app.json file.
server {
listen 80;
server_name mydomain.com www.mydomain.com;
location /dbApp {
proxy_pass http://10.0.0.1:4321/dbApp;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;

Looking for people to translate into other languages. If you can help, grab the
/locale/en.jsfile, translate to your language and submit a pull request.
The locale is automatically set to the detected locale of Nodejs. If there is not a translation, adminMongo will default to English. To override the detected locale
a setting can be added to the app.json file. See Configuration section for a "German" example.
By default adminMongo is not password protected. You can add password authentication by adding a password value to the /config/app.json file
(See the Configuration section). Once added you will need to restart adminMongo and all routes will be protected until the correct password is added. You
will then be authenticated for the life of the session (60 mins by default) or if the "Logout" link is clicked.
After visiting http://127.0.0.1:1234 you will be presented with a connection screen. You need to give your connection a unique name as a reference when using adminMongo and a MongoDB formatted connection string. The format of a MongoDB connection string can form: mongodb://<user>:<password>@127.0.0.1:<port>/<db> where specifying to the <db> level is optional. For more information on MongoDB connection strings, see the official MongoDB documentation.
You can supply a connection options object (see docs) with each connection.
For example:
{
"poolSize": 10,
"autoReconnect": false,
"ssl": false
}
Note: The connection can be either local or remote hosted on VPS or MongoDB service such as mLab.
The Connection setup screen
After opening your newly created connection, you are able to see all database objects associated with your connection. Here you can create/delete collections, create/delete users and see various stats for your database.
The connections/database screen
After selecting your collection from the "Database Objects" menu, you will be presented with the collections screen. Here you can see documents in pagination form, create new documents, search documents, delete, edit documents and view/add indexes to your collection.
The collections screen
You can perform searches of documents using the Search documents button on the collections screen. You will need to enter the key (field name) and value. Eg: key = "_id" and value = "569ff81e0077663d78a114ce" (Only works on string "_id" fields - Use "Query Documents" for ObjectID's).
You can clear your search by clicking the
Resetbutton on the collections screen.
Simple search documents
Complex querying of documents is done through the "Query documents" button. This allows a query Object to be passed to MongoDB to return results. Queries can be written in full BSON format or EJSON format. For example these queries should return the same results:
{
ObjectId("56a97ed3f718fe9a4f599489")
}
is equivalent to:
{
"$oid": "56a97ed3f718fe9a4f599489"
}
Query documents
Adding and editing documents is done using a JSON syntax highlighting control.

Indexes can be added from the collection screen. Please see the official MongoDB documentation on adding indexes.
Viewing/Adding indexes
The adminMongo API tests include:
- Add and remove a connection
- Add and remove a database
- Add, remove and rename a collection
- Create and delete a user
- Add, query and delete a document
To run tests, simply run:
npm test
You may need to edit the variables and connection string in /tests/tests.js for your MongoDB instance.
If you see any missing tests, please submit a PR.
