Meteor 1.7 without MongoDB



I'm trying to run a Meteor project, where I don't use Accounts nor any other Mongo Collection, and therefore would like to run the project without a Mongo DB server.



I've researched and found a few resources, mostly very old, none of which work with a current 1.7.x version of Meteor.



Anyone out there successfully made a recent Meteor version work without Mongo DB?





Client only or is server required?

Both actually... that is, I want to run the server without having to connect to a mongo db server. Neither client nor server am I using mongo collections...

You can remove mongo by looking through your packages for things that depend on mongo or mongo-dev-server with meteor list --tree


mongo


mongo-dev-server


meteor list --tree



On a fresh app this means removing:


mongo


meteor-base


autopublish



by running:


meteor remove mongo meteor-base autopublish



It turns out meteor-base has some important stuff in it that we want, so we want to add back in:


meteor-base


meteor


ddp


webapp



by running:


meteor add ddp webapp meteor



Note that you will lose hot code reloading on the client as that also depends on mongo :(





It works, thanks very much. I noticed that after this change, the package alexwine:bootstrap-4 is failing to import the bootstrap files into the client. Are you aware of any known issue with packages when applying these changes? Would there be perhaps any missing package to be added manually (which was included in meteor-base) to bring such functionality back?

Ok, found the issue.. the meteor package must also be installed, otherwise css is not imported into the client. Updated the answer to include this info.
