Creating a MongoDB database

Tovy runs on a MongoDB database. You will need to get one for it to work

Account

First we are going to want to go to MongoDB Cloud. You should see a screen that looks like this.

Next we are going to login/create an account! I already have an account so I will not be able to show that here.

Setting up database

After you create an account you should be greeted with a page that looks like this.

Just fill in the blanks on it and continue!

Once you are done with that you should be greeted with a page that looks like this.

Select the free option.

Now you should see a page that looks like this.

Now click the create cluster button!

Permissions

After you click the Create Cluster button you should be greeted with a page that looks like this.

First we need to enter the username and password we will use for the database, fill this in with something you remember or can save (you'll need this later) and click Create User.

Now scroll down to the IP access list section and type 0.0.0.0 in the IP address field.

Now click the Add Entry button.

Now click the finish button at the bottom of the screen.

Boom! You are done with this section now to the next.

Connection URI

Once you click the Finish And Close button you should be greeted with a page that looks like this.

Now we are going to need to click the connect button on the card.

After you click that you are going to want to click the Connect Your Application button.

After you should see a page that looks like this.

You are going to need to copy the URI and replace <password> with the password you saved earlier. You will need to save this for hosting setup.
