How do you provide configuration to MongoDB with Meteor?

Question

The meteor command both starts Meteor and MongoDB. How do I have meteor make the equivalent of this command when starting MongoDB mongod --profil

Answer 1

I had a quick search through the source and I don't see an obvious way that one could pass additional arguments to the mongod started by meteor in development mode. My recommendation would be to start a separate mongod on your system with those arguments and then tell meteor to use that one instead. For example:

$ MONGO_URL="mongodb://localhost:27017/myapp" meteor
