Hi, On a Debian Jessie fresh install, mongodb service is not enabled with systemd, thus it does not start after installation or boot time. user@sandbox:~$ systemctl list-unit-files --type=service |grep mongo mongod.service disabled The package mongodb-org-server comes with the mongod.service file : dpkg -L mongodb-org-server /. ------8<---------------- /lib /lib/systemd /lib/systemd/system /lib/systemd/system/mongod.service But the postinst script of the package does not call for systemctl to enable this service : #!/bin/sh # postinst script for mongodb # # see: dh_installdeb(1) set -e # summary of how this script can be called: # * `configure' # * `abort-upgrade' # * `abort-remove' `in-favour' # # * `abort-remove' # * `abort-deconfigure' `in-favour' # `removing' # # for details, see http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ or # the debian-policy package case "$1" in configure) # create a mongodb group and user if ! getent passwd mongodb >/dev/null 2>&1; then adduser --system --no-create-home mongodb addgroup --system mongodb adduser mongodb mongodb fi # create db -- note: this should agree with dbpath in mongod.conf mkdir -p /var/lib/mongodb chown -R mongodb:mongodb /var/lib/mongodb # create logdir -- note: this should agree with logpath in mongod.conf mkdir -p /var/log/mongodb chown -R mongodb:mongodb /var/log/mongodb ;; abort-upgrade|abort-remove|abort-deconfigure) ;; *) echo "postinst called with unknown argument \`$1'" >&2 exit 1 ;; esac # dh_installdeb will replace this with shell code automatically # generated by other debhelper scripts. # Automatically added by dh_installinit if [ -x "/etc/init.d/mongod" ]; then update-rc.d mongod defaults >/dev/null invoke-rc.d mongod start || exit $? fi # End automatically added section exit 0 It only tests for the existence of sysvinit script, not for the systemd one. This lead to mongod not running after installation or system reboot on Debian Jessie and perhaps on other systems. You might consider adding the same thing for systemd in the postinst script, like : +if [ -f "/lib/systemd/system/mongod.service" ]; then + systemctl --system daemon-reload >/dev/null || true + systemctl enable mongod.service >/dev/null + systemctl start mongod.service|| exit $? +fi Things are getting worse while removing mongodb-org-server package, the mongod service is not stopped while it is removed : user@sandbox:~$ sudo apt-get remove --purge mongodb-org-server Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: mongodb-org-mongos mongodb-org-shell mongodb-org-tools Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

I have seen this issue on 3.2.9 version and 3.4.2 version of mongodb-org-server package on Debian Jessie. It should affect every version between them. Regards. F.
