Upgrading MongoDB Binaries

Voxel51 advises performing database backups of your mongodb data directory whenever performing a database upgrade.

Note

The following steps apply to FiftyOne users who utilize the pre-packaged Fiftyone MongoDB instance. If you utilize a custom/shared MongoDB database, follow the upgrade path advised by your database provider.

Upgrading Mongodb 7 to Mongodb 8

1. Stop the Fiftyone session and exit the python interpreter. Ensure that the mongo process has been shut down.

   Mac/Linux users:

   ps -ef | egrep "fiftyone.*mongod"
   

   Windows users:

   Get-Process | \
       Where-Object { \
           $_.Name -like "*fiftyone*" \
           -and $_.Name -like "*mongod*" \
       }
   

2. Upgrade Fiftyone to 1.3.0+ and Fiftyone-db to 1.2.0+

   pip install --upgrade fiftyone fiftyone[db]
   

3. Relaunch Fiftyone

4. Install mongosh

5. Find the MongoDB URI using your operating systems network libraries

   Mac/Linux users:

   sudo lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN -P -n | egrep "mongod"
   

   Windows users:

   Get-NetTCPConnection | \
       Where-Object { $_.State -eq 'Listen' } | \
       Select-String -Pattern "mongod"
   

6. Connect to mongodb using mongosh

   mongosh "$URI_FROM_ABOVE"
   

7. Run the following command:

   db.adminCommand({
       setFeatureCompatibilityVersion: "8.0",
       confirm: true
   })
   
   // Verify the upgrade
   db.adminCommand({
       getParameter: 1,
       featureCompatibilityVersion: 1
   })
