Setup MongoDB replica set on local host with only a single primary
Add the `replication` section to the mongod.conf file:
```
$cat /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf
systemLog:
destination: file
path: /usr/local/var/log/mongodb/mongo.log
logAppend: true
storage:
engine: mmapv1
dbPath: /usr/local/var/repl-emagine-data
net:
bindIp: 127.0.0.1
replication:
replSetName: replocal
```
Restart mongod (I use brew):
```sh
$ brew services restart mongodb
```
Connect with local mongo shell and initiate the replica set:
```
$mongo
MongoDB shell version: 3.2.9
connecting to: test
> rs.initiate({_id: "replocal", members: [{_id: 0, host: "127.0.0.1:27017"}] })
{ "ok" : 1 }
```
Now you'll be secondary, but then it will promote you to primary since you're the only one:
```
replocal:SECONDARY> rs.status
function () {
return db._adminCommand("replSetGetStatus");
}
replocal:PRIMARY> rs.status()
{
"set" : "replocal",
"date" : ISODate("2017-01-06T16:16:27.323Z"),
"myState" : 1,
"term" : NumberLong(1),
"heartbeatIntervalMillis" : NumberLong(2000),
"members" : [
{
"_id" : 0,
"name" : "127.0.0.1:27017",
"health" : 1,
"state" : 1,
"stateStr" : "PRIMARY",
"uptime" : 2022,
"optime" : {
"ts" : Timestamp(1483719372, 1),
"t" : NumberLong(1)
},
"optimeDate" : ISODate("2017-01-06T16:16:12Z"),
"infoMessage" : "could not find member to sync from",
"electionTime" : Timestamp(1483719371, 2),
"electionDate" : ISODate("2017-01-06T16:16:11Z"),
"configVersion" : 1,
"self" : true
}
],
"ok" : 1
}
```
You can tail the oplog at
```
replocal:PRIMARY> use local
switched to db local
replocal:PRIMARY> db.getCollection('oplog.rs').find()
```
