FIX MONGODB GPG ERROR ON UBUNTU

From time to time you will need to update your Mongo pgp key so you can run normal updates. Below is the procedure

When running
sudo apt-get update

You will receive an error such as this when the pgp keys for Mongo are out of date
W: GPG error: . and so on

To fix this run the following:
wget -qO – https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-5.0.asc | sudo apt-key add –

You will want to change the 5.0 above to the version listed in the error like this:

SCRAPE DAILY SHORT DATA FROM FINRA

Here is a quick how-to on getting the daily short data. From this I look to see if the short volume has increased or decreased on a particular stock by leveraging a Power BI Dashboard that I had created. This guide is to show the simple command I run to initially scrape all the data

From a Linux box

Open a terminal

Type:
mkdir FINRA
cd FINRA
wget -r -np http://regsho.finra.org/regsho-Index.html

After it downloads the data I run
rm *.html

To remove the additional files that are not relevant, and then I move the data to where I need it

INSTALL MONGODB ON RASPBERRY PI 4

By far the best guide I have found, in starting this journey, was written by Mark Smith on https://developer.mongodb.com/how-to/mongodb-on-raspberry-pi/

If you want to see why things work the way they do, please visit his guide. My guide below is just the commands, and how I am connecting into the database once it is setup.

To begin, first you will want to install Ubuntu Server 20.10 as described here:
https://tacticalware.com/install-ubuntu-server-20-10-64-bit-on-raspberry-pi-4-using-a-m-2-drive/

Once you are up and running, ssh into the Raspberry Pi
Login

From the terminal run the following:
sudo bash

wget -qO – https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.4.asc | sudo apt-key add –

echo “deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu focal/mongodb-org/4.4 multiverse” | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.4.list

apt-get update

apt-get install -y mongodb-org

systemctl daemon-reload

systemctl enable mongod

systemctl start mongod

systemctl status mongod

CTRL button +c to exit

mongo
use admin

db.createUser( { user: "admin",
 
        pwd: "SuperSecretPassword",

        roles: [ "userAdminAnyDatabase",

                 "dbAdminAnyDatabase",

                 "readWriteAnyDatabase"] } )

exit

nano /etc/mongod.conf

Add these lines to the end of the file

security:

   authorization: enabled

CTRL +x to Exit
Y to Save

systemctl restart mongod

mongo

db.adminCommand({listDatabases: 1})

Make sure you had no errors

exit

mongo -u “admin” -p

Enter your admin password for mongo, aks your SuperSecretPassword

Type
db.adminCommand({listDatabases: 1})
This will list out your databases and ensure you created it properly

exit

nano /etc/mongod.conf
and Change the bind ip from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0

net:
   port: 27017
   bindIp: 0.0.0.0

CTRL +x to Exit
Y to Save

systemctl restart mongod

ufw allow 27017/tcp

MongoDB is now successfully setup and running. On to configuring the Windows 10 system

To connect to the MongoDB from a Windows 10 computer

Open an Internet Browser on your Windows 10 computer
Navigate to https://robomongo.org/
Download the Robomongo Robo 3T Client
Once you install it, add these settings to connect to your system
Click Create
Connection Tab
Type – Direct Connection
Address – The IP of your Raspberry Pi
Port 27017
Authentication Tab
Check mark Perform Authentication
Database is admin
User Name is admin
Password is your SuperSecretPassword
Auth is SCRAM
Click Save
Click Connect

You are now connected and ready to run with your MongoDB environment
