I’ve worked through a few sample projects and tutorials, but other than that I’m very new to Meteor/Mongo.
I’m wondering if it is possible to host my own (non-Meteor) MongoDB and still make use of OpLog Tailing? Currently I have my nascent Meteor app connected to a previously existing MongoDB running locally (I set MONGO_URL
). But based on what I’ve read it doesn’t seem to be using the OpLog (lacking the real time features). Which are fully functional if I run without setting MONGO_URL
.
I’m assuming it might work if I set the associated OpLog environment variable. But, if that is the case, how do I find that? Or is that feature only available through Atlas and not through local Mongo databases? Every similar question I’ve found doesn’t involve someone using a locally hosted DB, and I don’t really want to pay the subscription, but I do want to have the ability to have multiple real time Meteor apps connected to the same database.
This is a for a very small web app, that I really only want available on a LAN (that’s why I’d like to host locally, if possible). I’ll likely only have 20-50 users at a time.
