[Pkg-mongodb-maintainers] Bug#864407: mongodb-server: mongodb starts before network on VM and standalone

[Luca Cervigni]

Package: mongodb-server
Version: 1:2.6.10-0ubuntu1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,

This is related to both mongodb and systemd

Installed in a VM with only mongo running, the mongodb server service in 
systemd does not wait for network.target for starting up. This makes 
mongodb.service failing when the server restart, and when started by 
hand (after the network is restarted) works.

Workaround:

add the line:
After=network.target

in /lib/systemd/system/mongodb.service under the section [Unit]

Impact: mongodb fails to start if server restarted.
Reproducibility: on VMs, mongodb standalone node.

The bug is already been reported to the mongodb guys here: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mongodb/+bug/1693122
But I have been told there that this is something that Debian should fix 
upstream.

Other network accessible DBs such mysql already have the 
After=network.target line in the systemd config that allow the db to 
start only after the network started.

Many thanks
