# Optional: MongoDB manifests These manifests are **opt-in**. The default DocsGPT install uses Postgres for user data (see `deployment/k8s/deployments/postgres-deploy.yaml`). Apply the manifests in this directory only if you run DocsGPT with the MongoDB-backed vector store (`VECTOR_STORE=mongodb`) and need an in-cluster MongoDB, or if you are intentionally running on the legacy MongoDB user-data store during the Postgres migration window. Mirrors `deployment/optional/` for compose — not applied by the default `kubectl apply -k deployment/k8s/`. ## Usage ```bash kubectl apply -f deployment/k8s/optional-mongo/deployments/mongo-deploy.yaml kubectl apply -f deployment/k8s/optional-mongo/services/mongo-service.yaml ``` Then extend `docsgpt-secrets.yaml` with a base64-encoded `MONGO_URI` pointing at `mongodb://mongodb-service:27017/docsgpt?retryWrites=true&w=majority` (or your Atlas/external URI) before re-applying the secret.
