Windows: Configure mongo server to accept connections from remote clients

Open up port for external access

This pattern is applicable to all mongod.exe instances running as standalone instances or as part of a replica set. The goal of this pattern is to explicitly allow traffic to the mongod.exe instance from the application server.

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Open mongod port 27017" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=27017

This rule allows all incoming traffic to port 27017, which allows the application server to connect to the mongod.exe instance.

Bind mongo server to IP addresses

Change mongo config file:

$ vim /etc/mongod.conf

# /etc/mongod.conf

# Listen to local and LAN interfaces.
bind_ip = 127.0.0.1, 192.168.161.100

where 192.168.161.100 is the server NOT the client. What this says is that connections addressed to either 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.161.100 will be able to connect to the mongo server.

Create a windows Service

Follow the directions and you will have a mongo DB that runs as a service. Then each of your Meteor apps can connect to it.
