MEAN Stack on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

The MEAN stack — MongoDB, Express, Angular, and Node.js — a complete JavaScript platform for building modern web applications. This image gives you a production-ready deployment within minutes of first boot — no dependency wrangling, no manual hardening checklist. Published and maintained by Derek Coleman & Associates Inc: freshly rebuilt against current security advisories and deployable straight from the Azure Marketplace into your own subscription.

What's included

MEAN stack (MongoDB 7, Express, Angular, Node.js 22) MongoDB 7 + Express 4 + Angular 18 + Node.js 22 installed from the official upstream source
Hardened Linux base with automatic security updates enabled
No shared or default passwords baked into the image
Trusted Launch support: Secure Boot + vTPM
Azure Monitor Agent, Defender for Cloud, and Update Manager install cleanly

Quick start

Deploy from the Azure Marketplace (Get It Now → Create), choosing your SSH key at the Administration step.
Allow inbound SSH (22) for yourself plus the application port(s): 3000 (app) — 80/443 are also open in the in-image firewall — restrict to your own IP where possible. The in-image firewall already allows them; only the Network Security Group (NSG) keeps them closed.
Browse to http://<VM-IP>:3000/ — the sample app answers; replace /var/www/mean-app/ with your application and restart it with pm2.
Connect to MongoDB locally with mongosh using the generated admin password (see First login below).

Get your admin password (one time)

ssh <your-username>@<VM-IP>
sudo cat /root/.mongodb-initial-password

This is the MongoDB `admin` (root) password set at first boot; authorization is enabled in /etc/mongod.conf. MongoDB listens on 127.0.0.1 only.

Common use cases

Full-stack JavaScript applications
REST and GraphQL API backends
Single-page application hosting
Rapid prototyping with one language end-to-end

Why our images

Freshly rebuilt against the latest security advisories, no shared default credentials, Trusted Launch support, and automatic OS security updates — everything runs in your own Azure subscription under your governance.
