MongoChef

MongoChef is a cross platform MongoDB GUI client. Its free version only for non-commercial use. It's the best choice I found so far.

RockMongo

Install and Setup

RockMongo is a PHP MongoDB client.

It can't update complicated (nested) data structure, useless.

Install bitnami Nginx Stack;

Run $STACK_HOME/php/bin/pecl install mongo;

Add extension=mongo.so into $STACK_HOME/php/etc/php.ini;

Run mkdir $STACK_HOME/apps/rockmongo;

Download rockmongo-1.1.7.zip, extract to $STACK_HOME/apps/rockmongo; and mv rockmongo-1.1.7 htdocs;

In folder $STACK_HOME/apps, run cp -r demo/conf rockmongo/;

In folder $STACK_HOME/apps, replace all demo in rockmongo/conf/nginx-prefix.conf to rockmongo;

Add include "/home/leo/apps/nginxstack-1.9.7-0/apps/rockmongo/conf/nginx-prefix.conf"; into $STACK_HOME/nginx/conf/bitnami/bitnami-apps-prefix.conf;

Modify mongodb connection parameters in $STACK_HOME/apps/rockmongo/htdocs/config.php: modify "mongo_name", "mongo_host" and "mongo_port" as your target value, modify "mongo_auth" and "ui_hide_system_collections" to "true".

Start nginx server: $STACK_HOME/ctlscript.sh start;

Open "localhost:8080/rockmongo" in your browser, login with your mongodb auth params.

You can add a new mongodb with codes below in apps/rockmongo/htdocs/config.php:

$MONGO["servers"][$i]["mongo_name"] = "AliDB";
$MONGO["servers"][$i]["mongo_host"] = "123.57.188.18";
$MONGO["servers"][$i]["mongo_port"] = "15515";
$MONGO["servers"][$i]["mongo_auth"] = true;
$MONGO["servers"][$i]["ui_hide_system_collections"] = true;
$i ++;

And validate with ./ctlscript.sh restart nginx.

Note:

1. The nginx listening port (here is 8080) is defined in $STACK_HOME/nginx/conf/bitnami/bitnami.conf;

2. If you logged in with a previous user in browser, click "logout" button in upper-right corner to logout. Specify target username, passowrd and database in login page.

Usage

You have to write regex query in this way: { "chnName": { "$regex": "98" } }, and it didn't accept this form: { "chnName": /98/ }.

Specify which fields will be shown in the results at the "Fields" dropdown list below the query box.

UMongo

UMongo can only setup 1 connection, and if the user is not root, it will give a auth failed error.

MongoVUE

Only for Windows. I tested v1.6.9 on Windows 7 64bit. It can't connect to mongo replica set. (Always auth failed). When connected with a local mongodb server, searching and "copy as json text" function is ok. But crash and quit when copy a part in a document.
