I self-hosted a MongoDB server over Wi-Fi to use in my everyday development activities, all on a Raspberry Pi 5. I can also attach a certain USB drive and take the server's data anywhere I need to go. This server is used for privacy to ensure MongoDB Atlas doesn't process any data, while also ensuring all code I write is Atlas-compatible (Atlas is MongoDB's cloud hosting).
Also made a custom Atlas-style viewer for the database that allows me to view collections, edit them, and load sample data: https://github.com/A2Pro/A2_SimpleMongoDBViewer
