Bring a mongodb database from a cloud atlas cluster, locally, using two commands
Raw
mongodb-dump-and-restore.md

Let's assume the database is named "production" in your mongodb atlas cluster. First we do a dump:

mongodump --uri="mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@<subdomain>.mongodb.net/production" --archive="mongodump-production"

Make sure you fill in the correct:

  • username
  • password
  • subdomain

above.

And then a restore in our local mongodb installation:

mongorestore --uri="mongodb://<local-username>:<local-password>@localhost:27017" --archive="mongodump-production" --nsFrom='production.*' --nsTo='production.*'

Make sure you fill in the correct:

  • local-username
  • local-password

and that there is no database named production in your local installation.
