How to encrypt data in Debian MongoDB

Encrypting MongoDB database on a Debian system requires following the following steps:

Step 1: Install MongoDB

First, make sure your Debian system has MongoDB installed. If not, please refer to the official MongoDB document for installation: https://www.php.cn/link/5ef9f5ae91440a6e6cb56e870819466a

Step 2: Generate the encryption key file

Create a file containing the encryption key and set the correct permissions:

 dd if=/dev/urandom of=/etc/mongodb-keyfile bs=512 count=1
chmod 400 /etc/mongodb-keyfile
chown mongodb:mongodb /etc/mongodb-keyfile

Step 3: Configure MongoDB configuration file

Edit the MongoDB configuration file ( /etc/mongod.conf ) and add the following configuration in security section:

 <code>security: authorization: enabled enableEncryption: true encryptionCipherMode: AES256-CBC encryptionKeyFile: /etc/mongodb-keyfile</code>

This will enable MongoDB encryption and specify the AES256-CBC encryption algorithm as well as the key file location.

Step 4: Restart MongoDB service

After saving the configuration file, restart the MongoDB service to apply the changes:

 sudo systemctl restart mongod

Step 5: Verify the encryption status

Connect to MongoDB and execute the serverStatus command to verify that encryption is enabled successfully:

 mongo
> db.runCommand({ serverStatus: 1 })

Check encryption part in the output and make sure that keyFile and encryptionCipherMode are set correctly.

At this point, your Debian MongoDB instance has data encryption enabled. Please note that this configuration is only a basic encryption setting, and you can further enhance MongoDB security according to actual needs.
