Thanks for this, it's a great tut. There are a few issues though:
If you have issues getting mongod to start for the first time on CentOS 8, check this SO answer out for a fix:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/53494635
"First, make sure mongod is not running already ps aux | grep mongod
If it's not, remove the file: rm /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock
Then try systemctl start mongod to start MongoDB again."
and, also VERY importantly:
```
security authorization: "enabled"```
should be:
```
security: authorization: "enabled"```ADD THAT SEMI COLON after "security"
OR THE mongod SERVICE WON'T START/RESTART!
