Where can I find MongoDB documents created inside Meteor?

Question

New to Meteor and MongoDB here. I have mongoDB running as a service in my server, and from what I understand, Meteor installs it's own mongoDB in the .meteor directory by default, unless you specify otherwise. I know native MongoDB stores its data in data/db folder, but where are the documents located for MongoDB as part of Meteor?

I have found that the mongoDB binary is found (for me) at

~/.meteor/packages/meteor-tool/.1.0.35.ftql1v++os.linux.x86_64+web.browser+web.cordova/meteor-tool-os.linux.x86_64/dev_bundle/mongodb/bin/mongod

But scooping around that area didn't lead me to any documents, nor could I find any mongodb.conf, collection.0, collection.ns files. And there's no directory like .meteor/local/db as some answers suggested.

My question is similar to this one, however, I'm looking for the location on disk of the database documents, rather than the location of the address to access the database.

Answer 1

They are saved in your project directory at .meteor/local/db.
