MongoDB setup

important

This is needed only if you are running the SuperTokens core yourself.
We support only session management with MongoDB. Login support will be added in the future.

1) Connect SuperTokens to your database 🔌#

With Docker
Without Docker

docker run \    -p 3567:3567 \    -e MONGODB_CONNECTION_URI="mongodb://root:root@192.168.1.2:27017/dbName" \     -d registry.supertokens.io/supertokens/supertokens-mongodb

# You need to add the following to the config.yaml file.# The file path can be found by running the "supertokens --help" command
mongodb_connection_uri: "mongodb://root:root@192.168.1.2:27017/dbName"

2) Test the connection 🤞#

To test, start SuperTokens and run the following query in your database

db.key_value.find()

If you see at least one row, it means that the connection has been successfully completed! 🥳🎉
