How can I share MongoDB collections between Meteor apps?

Question

I\'d like to be able to have an admin app and a client app for my project. Ideally, I\'d like to be able to have a shared MongoDB collection. How would I be able to accompli

Answer 1

export MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost:3002/meteor

Then run meteor app, it will change the default database meteor uses. So share databases or collections won't be a problem! For administrative reason, I would use a individual MongoDB server managed by myself other than using meteor's internal MongoDB.
