Alternatives for MongoDB 5.0+

[nonodev96]

Hi, we are using an old server just for overleaf but with the new toolkit it doesn't work because mongodb 5.0+ requires a CPU with AVX support.

Is there any alternative to MongoDB 5.0+?

WARNING: MongoDB 5.0+ requires a CPU with AVX support, and your current system does not appear to have that!

Context

This works with sharelatex version 3.3.0 but not with versions 4+.

Any alternative to have a more updated version of sharelatex?

Technical Information

OS: Ubuntu Server 22.04 CPU: dual core Intel Xeon 3065

Steps to install overleaf in old servers

Install docker compose legacy and set sharelatex to version 3.3.0 because the toolkit not works.

Hey, I based myself on the docker compose files in the overleaf and the toolkit repo to do this one for my friend who's got an old server which cannot run Mongo 5. Overleaf is on port 8008 and works. I customized the container names so that it doesn't conflict with another mongo container by example. And there's one thing to do the first time you do the docker compose up, it's running a command to setup MongoDB:

docker exec leaf-mongo mongo --eval "rs.initiate({ _id: \"overleaf\", members: [ { _id: 0, host: \"mongo:27017\" } ] })"

The Docker Compose YAML:

services:
    sharelatex:
        restart: always
        image: sharelatex/sharelatex:4.2.3
        container_name: leaf-sharelatex

                condition: service_started
