Does not work with Ubuntu 22.04

[boutell]

First: thanks so much for your work on m!

In Ubuntu 22.04, the following error comes up for mongodb 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0 (I didn't try anything older, but presumably the same):

ubuntu@ip-172-26-6-41:~$ npm install -g m
added 1 package, and audited 2 packages in 559ms
...
ubuntu@ip-172-26-6-41:~$ m 5.0

ubuntu@ip-172-26-6-41:~$ mongod --dbpath=/home/apostrophe/mongodb-data/5.0
mongod: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I do have the right folder in my PATH:

ubuntu@ip-172-26-6-41:~$ which mongod
/home/ubuntu/.local/bin/mongod

Ubuntu 22.04 moved to openssl 3. But mongod community edition works fine on Ubuntu 22.04. It sounds like m is probably downloading the wrong binaries.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi @boutell,

Per the MongoDB Production Notes, Ubuntu 22.04 is only supported for MongoDB 6.0.4 or later.

MongoDB generally does not backport release packages to O/S versions which were released much later than the corresponding major version of MongoDB, so if you need MongoDB 5.0 on an Ubuntu 22.04 host you would have to install this in a Docker instance or VM.

However, m did need an update to check for Ubuntu 22 packages on newer server releases.

Can you try running the current m version from GitHub and confirm if this now works for a MongoDB 6.04+ install:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aheckmann/m/master/bin/m && chmod +x ./m
./m 6.0

m --version should report 1.8.6-dev

Thanks,
Stennie

Thanks, that's really useful information about MongoDB 6 being the minimum! I will make sure our documentation does not suggest otherwise and I will try your command as well.

I tried your command and it worked great, almost.

Specifically leaving off the .0 does not work.

But ./m 6.0 and ./m 7.0 both worked.

With just ./m 7 I get:

Prebuilt binaries for linux-x86_64 7 do not appear to be available.

Thanks!

(m --version reports the right version.)

Sorry @boutell, that was a bad usage example (I also edited my comment above to fix). Currently you do need to include the minor version (eg m 6.0 for latest 6.0.x release).
