Nice work. Does it support connecting to a Replica Set? Have you thought about turning this into a hosted solution?

thomas-st2• 14 years ago

Haven't tested it with replica sets, it will probably not work. You're free to implement that though :)

I thought about making it a hosted service, but I wanted to release a minimal version and see what the feedback is, so I decided to make it open source instead of putting a credit card form on the page.

That's cool. I've been split for a long time between close souring my stuff or making it open. My gut wants the things I make to be free because I love getting other people involved, but my brain wants to keep things closed so I can make $$$. But really we all are decent programmers, finding work and making money isn't a problem. If I had tons of cash I'd still spend my day programming and the rest with family and friends. So what's the difference? yay open source. Let the people who haven't figured 'it' out yet kill themselves to make more money and then wonder why they still aren't happy ;) /end rant

Damn - just what I had in mind for the upcoming NYC Mongo hackathon... http://www.10gen.com/events/NYC-MongoDB-Hackathon

Nicely done. It would be cool to come up with some way to gather collection characteristics, so that some fieldnames and/or value sets could by dynamically autocompleted. Perhaps that's a revised idea for this weekend's project.

Cool, you guys should consider extending MongoAdmin at the hackathon.

+100, I've been on the verge of writing something like this for months now. I dunno about Windows and OS X, but Linux doesn't have any native clients. I've been using https://github.com/agirbal/JMongoBrowser for my desktop mongodb query/admin/CRUD stuff, but it's horribly non-native, slow, a memory hog, and the interface is really lacking. But it does work and is pretty feature-rich.

MongoAdmin looks exactly like what I want, and I have a lot of experience with both django and bootstrap, so I'm especially happy that I'll be able to navigate my way below the surface without much issue.

Great work, thank you!

Seems similar to but more complete than Genghis, a single php file admin for MongoDB: http://genghisapp.com/

Anyway to make this not require a MySQL DB? It'd be awesome if it didn't require any DB at all to run.

You should be able to change it in the Django configuration file, from MySQL to sqlite.

Anyone know of a Mongo admin interface that runs on Node.js?

Nice work, thanks!

The filtering/search interface on this looks really interesting.

Recently I've been using (and am very happy with) RockMongo [1], a drop-in PHP solution that doesn't require its own database.

Nice work! A feature that I'd like to see is to show the results in a table-like structure.

MongoDB collections doesn't have a defined structure, but usually the documents are all almost identical, and it would be useful to show them in a table.

ojilles• 14 years ago

If you order the columns then by %-populated then the really sparse columns (exceptions) would by nicely out of the way, too.

mdda2• 14 years ago

This would make a nice heuristic for autocompletion too.

Related would be an SQLalchemy database structure crawler that would suggest appropriate mongodb collection aggregation, based on the frequency of columns, keys, etc.

How would you deal with deeply nested structures?
