I have installed mongodb on ubuntu 19.10 using apt install mongodb(because there's nothing in official documentation about ubuntu 19.10. It isn't supported or what?) So, it installed mongodb v3.6.8 and I use systemctl start mongodb to run it BUT as I understand it mongodb command is deprecated and mongod should be used instead, am I right? When I try sudo systemctl start mongodb, it is says "Failed to start mongod.service: Unit mongod.service not found."

All I want to do is to only allow authorized users to connect to db. But when I try adding security: authorization: disabled into /etc/mongodb.conf mongodb fails to start(As I understand it's because it only works for mongod.conf which I obviously don't have).

What should I do? How to make an auth connection using mongodb command?

I found it out

sudo nano /etc/mongodb.conf and

1. add auth = true
2. add an IP you want to give access to to 'bind_ip' or change the value to '0.0.0.0' to give access to everyone (you obviously have to create admin user before that)
