Does anyone know how to upgrade MongoDB from v4.4.3 to v5 or greater?

[Denocyte]

Hello, How do I enable authorization?

Editing `mongod.conf.orig` or creating new `mongod.conf` doesn't help.

1. Open a terminal and create the mongodb folder
- mkdir /mnt/user/appdata/mongodb
 

2. Change directory
- cd /mnt/user/appdata/mongodb
 

3. Create key file mongodb.key (mongodb will use it for authorization)
- openssl rand -base64 741 > mongodb.key
- chmod 600 mongodb.key

Step 3 is how you create the key and then in your mongod.conf file you need to add the below if you don't already have it:

 

security:
  authorization: "enabled"
  keyFile: /data/db/mongodb.key

My MongDB container no longer stays running. This started after a recent update, but no other action taken or config changes. I see the following in the logs:

I just encountered the same problem with the same error:

I did a quick google and followed some links but no solution was found.

I temporary forced the docker to use mongo:5.0 and all is good (for now)

How did you go about forcing mongo:5.0 ?

Same for me. set mine to Repository = mongo:5.0 back up and running.

How do you migrate and upgrade to MangoDB 6.0?

I installed the official MongoDB app through unraid and it uses Mongo 7 (no option to select a version from the deployment page). 

 

With regards to starting with authentication required, it took me longer than I care to admit, that there are two important environment variables missing that you have to manually add when deploying the docker app:

MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME

MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD

 

Without those, it will not start mongodb with --auth. However, once you add those (and set them) it works as expected, no further modifications needed.

 Hello,

since a few days I have problems with Rocket Chat and MongoDB. Perhaps you can help me further.

I updated the two Dockers and since then MongoDB no longer starts with the following error message:

Unrecognized option: storage.journal.enabled
try 'mongod --help' for more information

Unfortunately I can not find a solution to start the database again.

Thank you in advance.

was there anything else you needed to do? It looks like the lastest docker image includes those variables.  But adding the mongo --auth # still doesnt work for me?

Does no one have an idea what this could be? 😅

according to this info https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/core/journaling/ journaling is automatic now in the latest versions so there is no need to manually enabling it in .conf file

therefore you have to change the file appdata\mongodb\mongod.conf and remove the lines:

journal:
enabled: true

or put # in front, like so:

# journal:
# enabled: true

it worked for me, hopefully will work for you too. cheers

I am trying to get the unifi-network-application docker from Linuxserver running. It requires MongoDB running externally so I have also installed this docker. Unfortunately when I start the UNA docker I get an error- 

Defined MONGO_HOST is not reachable, cannot proceed

This probably indicates that I have the wrong value for the MONGO_HOST variable defined in the UNA docker but I don't know how to determine the correct value.

 

MongoDB docker run- 

docker run

Hoping someone here can help with getting the UNA docker connected to this one.

Guys I'm having trouble understanding this vs. MariaDB.

I'm not expert but I have a fundamental understanding on MySQL and MariaDB.

 

I also use Adminer to admin MariaDB.

 

The thing I don't understand is in MariaDB, I create different databases for different things such as Fireflly3 and SpeedtestTracker.  

Each one gets their own database within the MariaDB container. I can also create users, etc.

 

But with my initial look into MondoDB, I'm not really seeing that it works the same way.  

Do you not "log into" MondoDB and then create different databses (with their own unique names)?

 

I tried to get into MondoDB from Adminer but it told me 

None Of The Supported PHP Extensions (Mongo, Mongodb) Are Available.

 

I have Graylog installed and I believe that's using MongoDB, I'm just not exactly sure how haha

 

Thanks for any info guys! Ultimately I wanna get in there and create separate databases so it's nice and clean.

I get what you want to do, but there are good reasons to not do it that way.

 

Multiple separate containers have advantages, if one database gets messed up you can blow it away and redo it without disturbing the others. There is no extra storage penalty for multiple identical containers, the program parts all share the same data layers, the only extra storage for each additional container is the data and custom configuration, very close to the total of one container with all your databases anyway.

 

The only extra work is keeping track of the names and ports, but that's minor compared to the extra work of fixing one bad database while keeping the rest running in a single container.
