Evaluation

We provide an evaluation image for quick testing and experiments.

You'll need Docker installed to run it.

Run this command to start FerretDB with PostgreSQL + DocumentDB extension:

docker run -d --rm --name ferretdb -p 27017:27017 --platform linux/amd64 ghcr.io/ferretdb/ferretdb-eval:2

This command will start a container with FerretDB, pre-packaged PostgreSQL with DocumentDB extension, and MongoDB Shell for quick testing and experiments.

However, it is unsuitable for production use cases because it keeps all data inside and loses it on shutdown. See other installation guides for instructions that don't have those problems.

With that container running, you can:

• Connect to it with any MongoDB client application using MongoDB URI mongodb://username:password@127.0.0.1:27017/.
• Connect to it using MongoDB Shell by just running mongosh. If you don't have it installed locally, you can run docker exec -it ferretdb mongosh.
• For PostgreSQL, connect to it by running docker exec -it ferretdb psql -U username postgres.

In the next step, we will show you how to perform basic CRUD operations on FerretDB.

You can stop the container with docker stop ferretdb.
