Update dependencies

[enoch85]

Thanks for a great docker image!

I looked into the dependencies and found that it runs on MongoDB 3.4 and Java 8. These could/should be replaced/updated with MongoDB 3.6 and Java 11 instead IMHO.

Regarding MongoDB 3.6, that just got supported in Unifi, and regarding Java 11, you need to change the unifi.service to this.

It would also be nice to add a text editor, like nano for example.

I fail to get internet connectivity from within the Docker, but maybe that's another issue?

There are no arm binaries for mongodb 3.6 so we don't plan to update the dependencies at this time.

If you want to add a text editor, use this https://blog.linuxserver.io/2019/09/14/customizing-our-containers/

And can't help with the other issue but it sounds like a networking issue on your end.

Aah great, thanks!

Yeah, you're right. It was on my end with the netowokring. Running Pi-Hole and had set to only listen to eth0. When changing to all network interfaces it started to work.

I'm surprised with MongoDB 3.6. Installing the controller nativity on my Pi 4 allows (and works) with both 3.6 and Java 11... It's Ubuntu though, which OS is this docker based on?

And yeah, I was right this time:

It's possible when using their own repos. Just an example: https://websiteforstudents.com/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu-18-04-lts-beta-server/

Requires apt-transport-https though.

Actually, there's already a PR for it: #49

@enoch85 arm64 is available from mongodb repo, but from what I can see arm32 is not ...

[enoch85]

@dam09fr Oh ok. :/

Would it be possible to check if the host is 32 or 64 bit and install accordingly (with like if 64-bit; then...)?

[j0nnymoe]

We'll likely keep this on mongodb3.4 until we're forced to move up to 3.6. Hopefully there will be an arm binary for 3.6 by then but if not, I suspect we will just drop support for arm32 and just have arm64 and x86.

[enoch85]

Ok, if not MongoDB 3.6 I would have to say thanks but no thanks.

Great image other than that.

Thanks!
