mongobar is a python shell script used to create and manage MongoDB backups. Internally it is a wrapper for the MongoDB  **mongodump** and **mongorestore** commands.  

## Installation

```

pip install mongobar

```

## Usage

Run `mongobar` in a terminal

## Help

Access help via the `-h --help` commands. All actions have associated help text.  

`mongobar --help`  

![mongobar --help](assets/help.png)  

`mongobar backup --help`  

![mongobar --help](assets/help_backup.png)    

## Configuration

mongobar comes with a default configuration that defines a `Connection` for a MongoDB server running on **localhost:27017** with authentication disabled. Here is what that config looks like:

```json

{

    "root": "~/.mongobar_backups",

    "log_level": "INFO",

    "connections": {

        "default": {

            "host": "localhost",

            "port": 27017

        }

    }

}

```

The `default` connection can be overridden and additional  connections can be added by writing a config file. Here is an example of a custom config:

```json

{

    "connections": {

        "default": {

            "host": "localhost",

            "port": 27017,

            "username": "user",

            "password": "pass",

            "authdb": "admin"

        },

        "production": {

            "host": "102.100.204.35",

            "port": 27017,

            "username": "user",

            "password": "pass",

            "authdb": "admin"

        }

    }

}

```

mongobar will try to load a config file from `~/.mongobar_config.json` by default. This path can be changed by using the `--config` flag. The current configuration can be viewed by running the `config` action.

## Connections

mongobar uses the `connection` action to view and set the **current connection**. This attribute is used by actions `backup`, `restore`, `remove`, `backups`, `hosts`, and `meta`. Connections are defined in the configuration file and can be viewed by running the `config` action.
