Draft: Update MongoDB installation and remove MongoDB GUI #444

Closed jackorp closed 1 year ago

jackorp commented 2 years ago

It is not installable from Fedora since Fedora 30, but using the repo file seem to function OK. Also update steps for enabling the systemd service.

MongoDB GUI repo is archived and I do not know of an alternative

jackorp commented 2 years ago

Hmm, the 4.4 version skips a few packages... There probably isn't a proper way to run it on Fedora other than a container maybe...

pvalena commented 2 years ago

So there's no way to install this?

What about https://tecadmin.net/install-mongodb-on-fedora/ -- does it work?

jackorp commented 2 years ago

4.4 works, with the exception of the mongodb-org mongodb-org-database-tools-extra mongodb-org-tools package, anything beyond that will not install due to this error present on both 6.0 and 5.0:

nothing provides /usr/libexec/platform-python needed by mongodb-org-database-tools-extra-5.0.9-1.el8.x86_64

And as noted in the other PRs, Fedora is not supported by MongoDB upstream. Other solutions might be: compile from source, use containers.

I'm fine with whatever works (people use) ... so I'm fine with linking the blogpost (and mentioning it's a lower version, or recommending using CentOS (container), as that's supported by upstream. You might also mention the license is problematic.
