Mongodb for development or self-host

For most of our functionalities we are using Mongodb primarily. To have an easy local setup similar to the deployed version, we recommend to use the free tier of MongoDB Atlas. There you can simply create an account here and select the free tier. Then create a connection url and update the .env file based on the Database instance you want to configure (e.g. here in Linguly Core). Create the DBs and collections as you need.

Setup in Coolify

Mongodb setup in Coolify is straight forward:

• Create a new resource
• Select Mongodb and then Coolify will create a URL which include username and password
• Start the DB
• Copy the URL and paste it the mongodb url environment variable of the services you want e.g. Linguly Core
