Wekan / General · April 21, 2020 at 4:17pm

According to wekan admin panel version we are using Meteor version 1.10.1 and mongodb 3.2.22.

According to release notes for meteor 1.10.1 .....

The version of MongoDB used by Meteor in development has been updated from 4.0.6 to 4.2.1....

Does that mean meteor development?

Or is wekan using an older mongodb version than the current version of Meteor?

Or does meteor not really care and wekan just was written to be compatible with mongodb 3.2.22?

        When running command meteor so that it detects changes files, it uses MongoDB version that is included in meteor install. For example, with meteor --port 4000 MongoDB starts at next port 4001

                              Also I have not tried to make changes to Wekan so that FoundationDB would work, FoundationDB has huge hardware requirements where it's minimum 3 server cluster

                                Wekan already works with Percona Server for MongoDB https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/2852#issuecomment-565573038 that provides MongoDB encryption

                                            I was testing it yesterday, but it did not work yet with those changes I made. Depends when I get it working.
