Install MongoDB on Cloud Server
This guide details the specifics related to managing MongoDB on your Managed Cloud Server, particularly concerning the version lifecycle.
Preamble
- Any new installation of the application deploys MongoDB version 7.0 (or higher) by default.
Upgrading from version 6 to 7
It is not possible to perform an automatic update (upgrade) from version 6 to 7 directly from your interface.
Two solutions are available to you:
- Order a new Cloud Server: it will natively have version 7, and you can then migrate your data to it.
- Reinstall the application: uninstall and then reinstall MongoDB on the current server.
Uninstalling the application deletes all of your MongoDB data. Additionally, it will no longer be possible to reinstall version 6 after this operation.
Backups and responsibility
As an administrator, the management and integrity of your data are entirely your responsibility.
Before any manipulation (especially reinstallation):
- Perform your own backups and exports (dump) of your databases.
- Plan for the manual import of your data once the new version is active.
