To get all of this to work, you'll probably need offline support, which means caching application data and user data. meteor add appcache meteor add grounddb

Now it's time to go through the Meteor Cordova Phonegap Integration documentation. Since that documentation was written, XCode and Yosemite have been released, which has caused some hiccups in installation. Here are the steps we had to go through to get Meteor compiled to an iOS device. Upgrade ...

Make sure your development workstation and iPhone are connected to the same WiFi network. Tethering, hotspots, and other ad-hoc networking won't work. Run sudo meteor run ios-device Deploy to your device!

You'll need to separate out your application layer from your database layer, and that means specifying the MONGO_URL. Which means running your app through the bundle command, uncompressing it, setting environment variables, and then launching the project as a node app. Here's how... #make sure you...

The replica set will need an oplog user to access the database. mongo PRIMARY> use admin PRIMARY> db.addUser({user:"oplogger",pwd:"YOUR_PASSWORD",roles:[],otherDBRoles:{local:["read"]}}); PRIMARY> show users

Oplog Tailing on Sharded Mongo

There's two great utilities for black-box analysis of databases. First is variety.js, which will give you a high-level overview. The second is schema.js, which will let you dig into the collections for more detail on the individual fields. When inheriting a production Mongo database, these two util...

This command will create a /dump directory, and store each collection in a separate BSON blob file. This is the best way to backup or transfer databases between systems. mongodump --db meteor

Importing into a default Meteor instance is fairly easy. Note that you can add a --jsonArray option if your json file is exported as an array from another system. mongoimport --db meteor --port 3001 --collection foo --file foo.json

Mongo supports database-to-database copying, which is useful if you have large databases on a staging database that you want to copy into a local development instance. // run mongod so we can create a staging database // note that this is a separate instance from the meteor mongo and minimongo ins...

Did you know about the --url flag? Very handy. meteor mongo --url YOURSITE.meteor.com

They're not easily accessible. If you run the 'meteor bundle' command, you can generate a tar.gz file, and then run your app manually. Doing that, you should be able to access the mongo logs... probably in the .meteor/db directory. If you really need to access mongodb log files, set up a regular mo...
