This provides a vfox plugin to use `mongod` and `mongos` inside your project as tools. It is compatible with [vfox](https://vfox.dev/) itself and [MISE](https://mise.jdx.dev).

The actual target for the given MongoDB version will be resolved based on your operating-system **and** distribution (if applicable) **and** os/distribution version (if applicable). This is especially important for Linux distributions, where a big variety of packages for different distributions exists for `mongod`/`mongos`.

## Environment

The actual target and architecture for the given MongoDB version will be resolved based on your operating-system **and** architecture **and** distribution (if applicable) **and** os/distribution version (if applicable). This is especially important for Linux distributions, where a big variety of packages for different distributions exists for `mongod`/`mongos`.

But: If there is something missing, please [create a ticket](https://github.com/echocat/vfox-mongod/issues) that we can implement it.

### Overrides

| Environment Variable | Description |
| -- | -- |
| `MONGOD_TARGET` | This will override the automatically resolved target (like `ubuntu2404`, `windows`, `macos`, ...). All available lists of targets are listed inside [downloads.mongodb.org/full.json](https://downloads.mongodb.org/full.json). |
| `MONGOD_ARCH` | This will override the architecture. Can be (currently) `amd64`, `arm`, `arm64`, `s390x` and `ppc64le`. |

## FAQ

### Can I overwrite the target which will be picked?
### Can I override the target which will be picked?

Usually the target (like `ubuntu2404`, `windows`, `macos`, ...) will be resolved automatically. Not always this matches 100% what you want. In this case you can overwrite this selection (on your host) by setting the environment variable `MONGOD_TARGET` to your desired target. It has to match the targets you can also find inside [downloads.mongodb.org/full.json](https://downloads.mongodb.org/full.json).

But: If there is something missing, please [create a ticket](https://github.com/echocat/vfox-mongod/issues) that we can implement it.
