Percona Mongo 4.0 on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS AMD64

Hi there,

I have 3 bare metal servers running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS AMD64, finally I will upgrade very soon to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - AMD64. The current version of Mongo running as ReplicaSet is v3.6. I’d like to upgrade to version 4.0 but I cannot find any apt repo that way I can do that?

I have another single Ubuntu 22.04 LTS AMD64 box, and I installed Percona MongoDB 4.4 but the databases are incompatibles.

Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you are my only hope.

Hi @jbiancot
Percona Server for MongoDB 4.0 is EOL, but the packages for Ubuntu 20.04 are still available from our repo.

First you need to install our “percona-release” repository management tool as described here - Install percona-release - Percona Software Repositories

Once done, you can enable psmdb-40 repo using the following command:

percona-release enable psmdb-40 release

And install percona-server-mongodb (4.0.28-23.focal) as usual by running:

apt install percona-server-mongodb
percona-server-mongodb installation console output

Thanks Alex but I have another issue, one of the servers I’ve upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, I am getting a message the repo is not supported for the OS?

It must be a way to install Mongo 4.0 to Ubuntu 22.04?

My goal is to catch-up with version +5.0, but how I can skip the upgrade of 4.0 to 4.2 to 4.4 to 5.0?

The data was originally from Percoan Mongo 3.6 which I was able to upgrade to version 4.0 on another Production ENV servers, on this server which is a standalone with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, the installation went for Percona Mongo 4.4 and when I tried to start the MongoDB service, it didn’t like the 200 GB of data I have.

Hi @jbiancot
Regarding:

To upgrade to v5.0, it’s always recommended to upgrade to each version of Mongo for data consistency/compatibility, i.e. 4.0 → 4.2 → 4.4 → 5.0.

However, we suggest going through our well written blog about upgrade How to Upgrade MongoDB Using Backups Through Many Major Versions (percona.com) but again, you must successively upgrade to each major releases till v5.0.

Thanks,
Mukesh

HI @jbiancot
The issue here is that the latest release of Percona Server for MongoDB 4.0 was released on February 23, 2022 - Percona Server for MongoDB 4.0.28-23 — Percona Server for MongoDB 4.0 Documentation and Ubuntu 22.04(Jammy) was issued two months later in April 2022, so no packages were built for this version of Ubuntu.
