MongoDB questions

Hello guys, I need your help.

When installing mongodb on ubuntu it doesn't show any username/password, so I belive I must create it?

Also when installing NodeBB I leaved the mongodb user/pass empty and the forum works but I don't know if this will be a problem or not.

Thanks in advance.

@felirami setting up a user/password for security is always recommended. Follow this guide to add a user/pass to mongodb

https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/configuring/databases/mongo.html#step-6-adding-a-new-database-with-users

@pichalite now should I reinstall everything again?

@felirami nope. Simply edit your config.json or run ./nodebb setup.
