About MongoDB 5
If Mongodb does not start after update, you may need to do the following:
- Create a backup with
mongodump, in case something goes wrong - Start a MongoDB 4.4 instance:
$ git diff
abc-mongodb:
- image: 'mongo:5.0.20-focal'
+ image: 'mongo:4.4-focal'
$ docker compose down
$ docker compose up # Or helm upgrade- Execute this admin command:
# Replace parameters with correct host, username and password
$ mongo --host localhost:27017 -u admin -p admin --eval 'db.adminCommand( { setFeatureCompatibilityVersion: "4.4" } )'- Then start a MongoDB 5 instance:
$ git diff
abc-mongodb:
- image: 'mongo:4.4-focal'
+ image: 'mongo:5.0.20-focal'
$ docker compose down
$ docker compose up # Or helm upgradeHelm Chart Values:
# ...
mongodb:
