Prerequisites

• Create a MongoDB Atlas account
• Install XP runners and Composer.

Setup

First, create the import user:

$ echo -n "secret-password-here" | sha256sum
4323135e32ac4...

# Copy the connection URI from MongoDB Atlas
$ mongosh mongodb+srv://[USER]:[PASSWORD]@[PROJECT].[ORG].mongodb.net
$ use dialog
$ db.users.insert({handle: "import", pass: "4323135e32ac4..."});
# ...

Store the connection string in a configuration file named config.ini:

[mongo]
uri=mongodb+srv://[USER]:[PASSWORD]@[PROJECT].[ORG].mongodb.net/?readPreference=nearest

Then, run composer to install PHP and JavaScript dependencies.

$ composer up
# ...
