usage

# create a mongo service named lolipop
dokku mongo:create lolipop

# you can also specify the image and image
# version to use for the service
# it *must* be compatible with the
# official mongo image
export MONGO_IMAGE="mongo"
export MONGO_IMAGE_VERSION="3.0.5"
dokku mongo:create lolipop

# get connection information as follows
dokku mongo:info lolipop

# lets assume the ip of our mongo service is 172.17.0.1

# a mongo service can be linked to a
# container this will use native docker
# links via the docker-options plugin
# here we link it to our 'playground' app
# NOTE: this will restart your app
dokku mongo:link lolipop playground

# the above will expose the following environment variables
#
#   MONGO_URL=mongo://172.17.0.1:27017
#   MONGO_NAME=/lolipop/DATABASE
#   MONGO_PORT=tcp://172.17.0.1:27017
#   MONGO_PORT_27017_TCP=tcp://172.17.0.1:27017
#   MONGO_PORT_27017_TCP_PROTO=tcp
#   MONGO_PORT_27017_TCP_PORT=27017
#   MONGO_PORT_27017_TCP_ADDR=172.17.0.1

# you can customize the environment
# variables through a custom docker link alias
dokku mongo:alias lolipop MONGO_DATABASE

# you can also unlink a mongo service
# NOTE: this will restart your app
dokku mongo:unlink lolipop playground

# you can tail logs for a particular service
dokku mongo:logs lolipop
dokku mongo:logs lolipop -t # to tail

# you can dump the database
dokku mongo:export lolipop > lolipop.dump.tar

# you can import a dump
dokku mongo:import lolipop < database.dump.tar

# you can clone an existing database to a new one
dokku mongo:clone lolipop new_database

# finally, you can destroy the container
dokku mongo:destroy lolipop
