[thgilciffart]

Steps to Reproduce

make directories & initalise files

mkdir $HOME/overleaf
cd $HOME/overleaf 
git clone https://github.com/overleaf/toolkit.git ./toolkit
git clone https://github.com/yu-i-i/overleaf-cep

2. build docker images required

cd $HOME/overleaf/overleaf-cep/server-ce
make build-base
make build-community

3. initialise the toolkit

cd $HOME/overleaf/toolkit/
bin/init
cd $HOME/overleaf/toolkit/config

4. configure the toolkit

vim docker-compose.override.yml

Analysis

[OliveiraHermogenes]

Are you running kernel 6.19 or later? This is from mongoDB release notes:

MongoDB 8.0 Incompatible with Kernel 6.19

Due to an incompatibility between a new kernel release and the currently vendored version of TCMalloc, running MongoDB 8.0 or newer with Linux kernel version 6.19 can cause MongoDB to crash on startup. This applies to all MongoDB packages, including those obtained from the MongoDB website, or obtained from package managers or Docker.

As soon as a patched version of TCMalloc is available, MongoDB will upgrade to use it, and this compatibility issue will be resolved.

Thank you so much for this, I am on kernel 6.19. I was losing hairs and going insane thinking there was something wrong with my config

I'll leave this here for others who may encounter this bug.

[OliveiraHermogenes]

This has been fixed for kernel versions 7.0.11 and later.

[yu-i-i]

Here is stated "MongoDB Is Incompatible with Linux Kernel 6.19 Through 7.0.13" Where is the truth?

[OliveiraHermogenes]

Sorry. I think the truth is 7.0.14 and later. Someone mentioned in the JIRA ticket that it was fixed starting from 7.0.11, but apparently they were mistaken.

[yu-i-i]

@OliveiraHermogenes thanks. Changed the issue title, let people see.
