A couple of shell scripts to dump and restore production Meteor (MongoDB) databases.

# The meteor.com Hot Dump 2-step 
# Dump a mongo db from a live meteor app to a local dump dir. 
#
# Splits up the output of:
#    meteor mongo $METEOR_DOMAIN --url 
# and pushes it into 
#    mongodump -u $MONGO_USER -h $MONGO_DOMAIN -d $MONGO_DB -p "${MONGO_PASSWORD}" -o $OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
# 
# Doing so by hand is tedious as the password in the url is only valid for 60 seconds.
#
# Requires 
# - meteor  (tested on 0.6.5.1)
# - mongodb (tested in 2.4.6)
#
# Usage
#    ./meteor-dump.sh goto
#
# If all goes well it'll create a dump folder in the specified output directory.
