Hi,
This is reference to CSFLE and is an extention to the forum query Mongocryptd for client side encryption.
My setup is similar. The server is installed on a VM and the applications are running as containers. For csfle to work, the java driver needs to connect to the mongocryptd process . mongocryptd executable is present in the server/bin and is not present in the client container.
I understand that Only local interfaces (localhost or a local unix domain socket) are supported for mongocryptd as at MongoDB 4.4.
My question is - Is there a possibility that the mongocryptd process can be run on each application container and it can talk to the server remotely running on the separate VM? i.e. 5 applications - 5 containers and each container has mongocryptd process running. All these are talking to same mongodb server instance on a remote VM.
If yes, how and where to get and run the mongocryptd executable? Would that be same as the one kept in server/bin? Can that exe/sh be copied and run on each container independently?
Is there a way to make CSFLE work in this set up?
Thanks,
Anu
