8.0.24+ needs a new mongo

[ryansch]

The hack we've been using to pull in mongo 3.6.x has finally broken.

Unifi 7.5 and greater supports mongo 4.4. I'm looking at upgrading to it.

Hello 👋🏼

Any update on this?

The Release Candidate for 8.1.113 just dropped.

https://community.ui.com/releases/UniFi-Network-Application-8-1-113/af46fd38-8afe-4cef-8de1-89636b02b52c

I find this part the most interesting...

UniFi Network Application 7.5 and newer requires MongoDB 3.6 and Java 17.

• Version 7.5 till 8.0 supports up to MongoDB 4.4.
• Version 8.1 and newer supports up to MongoDB 7.0.

@loganmarchione Whoa.

Honestly, I might just skip straight to 8.1 at this point.

FYI if you plan to upgrade MongoDB while upgrading Unifi. Versions 5 and later require AVX512 CPU instructions, or they won't boot.

docker-library/mongo#485

This calls out ARMv8.2-A as required for arm64 (I think AVX-512 is x64 specific)

I came across this project that may help expand the support for newer Mongo versions on Pi:

Your feedback is incredibly helpful! This pain is part of the reason why there hasn't been a new release in a while.

I'm not dead. This is still on my radar.

If it helps in any way, I have run the GlennR install a unifi on my mac (an M1 Pro) and I can see it might have worked.

Will get it running with exposed ports and confirm its really working

I just shipped 8.1 with mongo 4.4.18. Works on my pi4.
