# MongoDB

[**MongoDB**](https://www.mongodb.com) is the standard database for Komodo.
Komodo Core communicates with the database using the MongoDB driver.

1. Copy `komodo/mongo.compose.yaml` and `komodo/compose.env` to your host:
```bash
wget -P komodo https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moghtech/komodo/main/compose/mongo.compose.yaml && \
  wget -P komodo https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moghtech/komodo/main/compose/compose.env
```
2. Edit the variables in `komodo/compose.env`.
3. Deploy using command:

```bash
docker compose -p komodo -f komodo/mongo.compose.yaml --env-file komodo/compose.env up -d
```

```mdx-code-block
import ComposeAndEnv from "@site/src/components/ComposeAndEnv";

<ComposeAndEnv file_name="mongo.compose.yaml" />
```
