Cloning Ubiquiti’s MongoDB instance to a separate server
DISCLAIMER: I am not a MongoDB person (even if it is Web Scale X-D) - below instructions may work for you, they may not. Use with care!
For some work I’ve been doing I wanted to access the data in Ubiquiti’s Unifi controller which it stores in MongoDB. Because I didn’t want to risk my actual Unifi device by changing local settings to enable remote access, and also because the version of MongoDB on it is older than ideal, I wanted to clone the data elsewhere.
