This guide details the specifics related to managing MongoDB on your Managed Cloud Server, particularly regarding 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 version 7 directly from your interface.

Two solutions are available to you:

1. Order a new Cloud Server: it will natively have version 7, and you can then migrate your data to it.
2. Reinstall the application: uninstall and then reinstall MongoDB on the current server.

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.
