MongoAdmin - admin interface for MongoDB I wrote using Django and Bootstrap
- nodesocket 14y agoNice work. Does it support connecting to a Replica Set? Have you thought about turning this into a hosted solution?
- thomas-st 14y agoHaven't tested it with replica sets, it will probably not work. You're free to implement that though :) I thought about making it a hosted service, but I wanted to release a minimal version and see what the feedback is, so I decided to make it open source instead of putting a credit card form on the page.
- pixie_ 14y agoThat's cool. I've been split for a long time between close souring my stuff or making it open. My gut wants the things I make to be free because I love getting other people involved, but my brain wants to keep things closed so I can make $$$. But really we all are decent programmers, finding work and making money isn't a problem. If I had tons of cash I'd still spend my day programming and the rest with family and friends. So what's the difference? yay open source. Let the people who haven't figured 'it' out yet kill themselves to make more money and then wonder why they still aren't happy ;) /end rant
- ericingram 14y agoWhy do people seem to assume that open source != $$$? One of the biggest problems I have with open source is finding help fixing problems and just getting support in general. I'm happy to pay $$$ for software as a service, key word "service". Open source is a value add to SaaS, not the other way around!
- pixie_ 14y agoWhy do people assume everyone can make money off open source software by offering support service?
- bmelton 14y agoI don't think he meant making money through supporting the service -- rather, you can make money for software as a service. Unrelated, that may or may not require offering support. In addition, there are TONS of people making money off of open source. Hell, that's the business model of almost every web hosting service in the world. No reason you couldn't.
- zalew 14y agogreat work, just what I need. +1
- mdda 14y agoDamn - just what I had in mind for the upcoming NYC Mongo hackathon... http://www.10gen.com/events/NYC-MongoDB-Hackathon http://www.10gen.com/events/NYC-MongoDB-Hackathon Nicely done. It would be cool to come up with some way to gather collection characteristics, so that some fieldnames and/or value sets could by dynamically autocompleted. Perhaps that's a revised idea for this weekend's project.
- thomas-st 14y agoCool, you guys should consider extending MongoAdmin at the hackathon.
- aroman 14y ago+100, I've been on the verge of writing something like this for months now. I dunno about Windows and OS X, but Linux doesn't have any native clients. I've been using https://github.com/agirbal/JMongoBrowser https://github.com/agirbal/JMongoBrowser for my desktop mongodb query/admin/CRUD stuff, but it's horribly non-native, slow, a memory hog, and the interface is really lacking. But it does work and is pretty feature-rich. MongoAdmin looks exactly like what I want, and I have a lot of experience with both django and bootstrap, so I'm especially happy that I'll be able to navigate my way below the surface without much issue. Great work, thank you!
- vijayrawatsan 14y agoIts quite nice.. :)
- jsherer 14y agoSeems similar to but more complete than Genghis, a single php file admin for MongoDB: http://genghisapp.com/ http://genghisapp.com/
- mikey_p 14y agoAnyway to make this not require a MySQL DB? It'd be awesome if it didn't require any DB at all to run.
- monstrado 14y agoYou should be able to change it in the Django configuration file, from MySQL to sqlite. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/ https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/
- EvanYou 14y agoAnyone know of a Mongo admin interface that runs on Node.js?
- azat_co 14y agoNice work, thanks!
- chalmerj 14y agoThe filtering/search interface on this looks really interesting. Recently I've been using (and am very happy with) RockMongo [1], a drop-in PHP solution that doesn't require its own database.

- madarco 14y agoNice work! A feature that I'd like to see is to show the results in a table-like structure. MongoDB collections doesn't have a defined structure, but usually the documents are all almost identical, and it would be useful to show them in a table.
- ojilles 14y agoIf you order the columns then by %-populated then the really sparse columns (exceptions) would by nicely out of the way, too.
- mdda 14y agoThis would make a nice heuristic for autocompletion too. Related would be an SQLalchemy database structure crawler that would suggest appropriate mongodb collection aggregation, based on the frequency of columns, keys, etc.
- philjackson 14y agoHow would you deal with deeply nested structures?
- skeptical 14y agoLooks good. Futon has always been a strong reason for picking couchdb. This is indeed a good match for Futon.
