Here are the steps (high-level) on how to move a MongoDB database backup from Jenkins to an Azure VM:
- Create a storage account in Azure. You will need a storage account to store the MongoDB database backup. You can create a storage account in the Azure portal.
- Create a container in the storage account. You will need a container to store the MongoDB database backup. You can create a container in the Azure portal.
- Download the MongoDB database backup from Jenkins. You can download the MongoDB database backup from Jenkins using the Jenkins CLI or the Jenkins web UI.
- Upload the MongoDB database backup to Azure storage. You can upload the MongoDB database backup to Azure storage using the Azure CLI or the Azure Storage Explorer.
- Restore the MongoDB database backup on the Azure VM. You can restore the MongoDB database backup on the Azure VM using the MongoDB restore command.
Detailed steps:
Prerequisites:
- An Azure subscription
- An Azure VM with MongoDB installed
- A Jenkins server
- A MongoDB database backup
Step 1: Create a storage account in Azure
- Go to the Azure portal and sign in with your credentials.
- Click on “Create a resource” and then search for “Storage accounts”.
- Select “Storage accounts” from the search results and click on “Create”.
- In the “Create storage account” blade, enter the following information:
- Resource group: Select the resource group where you want to create the storage account.
- Storage account name: Enter a unique name for the storage account.
- Location: Select the region where you want to create the storage account.
- Performance: Select the performance tier for the storage account.
- Replication: Select the replication type for the storage account.
- Access type: Select the access type for the storage account.
- Click on “Review + create” and then click on “Create”.
Step 2: Create a blob container in the storage account
- Go to the Azure portal and navigate to the storage account that you created in step 1.
- Click on “Containers” and then click on “+ Container”.
- Enter a name for the container and click on “Create”.
Step 3: Download the mango database backup from Jenkins
- Go to the Jenkins server and log in with your credentials.
- Navigate to the job that contains the mango database backup.
- Click on the job and then click on the “Build History” tab.
- Select the build that contains the mango database backup and click on the “Console Output” tab.
- Look for the download link for the mango database backup and download it to your local computer.
Step 4: Upload the mango database backup to the blob container
- Go to the Azure portal and navigate to the blob container that you created in step 2.
- Click on “Upload”.
- Select the mango database backup file that you downloaded in step 3 and click on “Open”.
- The mango database backup will be uploaded to the blob container.
Step 5: Create a virtual machine in Azure
- Go to the Azure portal and sign in with your credentials.
- Click on “Create a resource” and then search for “Virtual machines”.
- Select “Virtual machines” from the search results and click on “Create”.
- In the “Create virtual machine” blade, enter the following information:
- Resource group: Select the resource group where you want to create the virtual machine.
- Virtual machine name: Enter a name for the virtual machine.
- VM image: Select the VM image for the virtual machine.
- Instance type: Select the instance type for the virtual machine.
- Authentication type: Select the authentication type for the virtual machine.
- Username: Enter the username for the virtual machine.
- Password: Enter the password for the virtual machine.
- Click on “Review + create” and then click on “Create”.
Step 6: Install the mango database on the Azure VM
- Go to the Azure portal and navigate to the virtual machine that you created in step 5.
- Click on “Connect”.
- A remote desktop connection will be established to the virtual machine.
- Log in to the virtual machine using the credentials that you specified in step 5.
- Install the mango database on the virtual machine.
Step 7: Restore the mango database backup from the blob container
- Go to the Azure portal and navigate to the blob container that you created in step 2.
- Download the mango database backup file to the virtual machine.
- Restore the mango database backup to the virtual machine.
Step 8: Test the mango database on the Azure VM
- Open the mango database application on the virtual machine.
- Test the mango database to make sure that it is working properly.
This should complete the process of moving a mango database (backup) from Jenkins to Azure VM.
