Mongoku

MongoDB client for the web. Query your data directly from your browser. You can host it locally, or anywhere else, for you and your team.

It scales with your data (at Hugging Face we use it on a 1TB+ cluster) and is blazing fast for all operations, including sort/skip/limit. Built on TypeScript/Node.js/Angular.

Demo

Install & Run

This is the easy and recommended way of installing and running Mongoku.

mongoku start --pm2
# or
mongoku start --forever

# Use another port. (Default = 3100)
MONGOKU_SERVER_PORT=8000

MONGOKU_DATABASE_FILE="/tmp/mongoku.db"

# Timeout before falling back to estimated documents count in ms (Default = 5000)
MONGOKU_COUNT_TIMEOUT=1000
