MongoDB dead after upgrading from stable to beta/rc/edge

Yes, you should switch back to stable channel, to get WeKan working again.

There will be automatic update to stable channel, when I have fixed upgrading MongoDB. That update will have newest WeKan.

Thank you :-) thanks to Vmware snapshots, the way back to working stable is easy ;-)

We found something more, looking in this thread: #5073

i tried to follow the repair command using the commands you told, adjusted to our environment.
I looks like there is an incompatibility issue with openssl1.1 and 3.0 which i also faced on another place in two of our debian 12 servers.
The problem was, that the nagios plugins i compiled on a debian 11 system and distributed them via ansible to my servers did not work on a fresh installed debian 12 server, due to openssl i think. u had to compile them again to make them work.

now wekan:
services:
wekan.caddy: simple, disabled, inactive
wekan.mongodb: simple, enabled, inactive
wekan: simple, enabled, inactive

mongod: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Maybe this is the reason, the upgrade of mongo is not working?

If you are repairing database, you should first stop WeKan:

sudo snap stop wekan

If using WeKan 6.09 Snap Stable, and included version of mongod, I presume path to libcrypto.so.1.1 should be first at path:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/snap/wekan/2782/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

And then use that mongod that is included at /snap/wekan/bin

If using WeKan 7.x Snap Candidate, it has newest MongoDB 6.x dependencies.

But, upgrading is actually more about doing mongodump with old MongoDB 3.x, and mongorestore with MongoDB 6.x, and then also changing database structure so that attachments are visible, that migration code is what I'm working to fix.

There will be automatic upgrade from WeKan 6.09 Snap Stable to newest WeKan 7.x, staying at Stable channel. Also other channels will be using that newest WeKan 7.x, but the point is, Stable users should keep using Stable.
