Hey folks,
I am having a hell of a time upgrading my one standalone docker container. So far (up to 4.8.1) I have been using this gem:
```auto
version: '2'
services:
rocketchat-nnx:
image: registry.rocket.chat/rocketchat/rocket.chat:4.8.1
command: >
bash -c
"for i in `seq 1 30`; do
node main.js &&
s=$$? && break || s=$$?;
echo \"Tried $$i times. Waiting 5 secs...\";
sleep 5;
done; (exit $$s)"
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- /var/docker_data/chat.example.com/rocketchat:/var/lib/rocket.chat
environment:
- PORT=3003
- ROOT_URL=https://chat.example.com
- MONGO_URL=mongodb://mongo-nnx:27017/rocketchat
- MONGO_OPLOG_URL=mongodb://mongo-nnx:27017/local
- MAIL_URL=smtp:/mail.example.com
depends_on:
- mongo-nnx
ports:
- 3003:3003
mongo-nnx:
image: mongo:5.0.6
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- /var/docker_data/chat.example.com/db:/data/db
command: mongod --oplogSize 128 --replSet rs0
```
Now with RocketChat 5.x, the compose script got rewamped quite a lot. I tried to adapt it to the best of my abilites:
```auto
volumes:
mongo-nnx_data: { driver: local }
services:
rocketchat-nnx:
image: registry.rocket.chat/rocketchat/rocket.chat:${RELEASE:-latest}
restart: on-failure
environment:
PORT: 3003
ROOT_URL: https://chat.example.com
MONGO_URL: mongodb://mongo-nnx:27017/rocketchat
MONGO_OPLOG_URL: mongodb://mongo-nnx:27017/local
MAIL_URL: smtp://mail.example.com
DEPLOY_METHOD: docker
# DEPLOY_PLATFORM: ${DEPLOY_PLATFORM}
depends_on:
- mongo-nnx
expose:
- ${PORT:-3000}
ports:
- "${BIND_IP:-0.0.0.0}:${HOST_PORT:-3000}:${PORT:-3000}"
volumes:
- /var/docker_data/chat.example.com/rocketchat:/var/lib/rocket.chat
mongo-nnx:
image: mongo:${MONGODB_VERSION:-4.4}
restart: on-failure
volumes:
- /var/docker_data/chat.example.com/db:/data/db
environment:
MONGODB_REPLICA_SET_MODE: primary
MONGODB_REPLICA_SET_NAME: ${MONGODB_REPLICA_SET_NAME:-rs0}
MONGODB_PORT_NUMBER: ${MONGODB_PORT_NUMBER:-27017}
MONGODB_INITIAL_PRIMARY_HOST: ${MONGODB_INITIAL_PRIMARY_HOST:-mongo-nnx}
MONGODB_INITIAL_PRIMARY_PORT_NUMBER: ${MONGODB_INITIAL_PRIMARY_PORT_NUMBER:-27017}
MONGODB_ADVERTISED_HOSTNAME: ${MONGODB_ADVERTISED_HOSTNAME:-mongo-nnx}
MONGODB_ENABLE_JOURNAL: ${MONGODB_ENABLE_JOURNAL:-true}
ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD: ${ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD:-yes}
command: mongod --oplogSize 128 --replSet rs0
```
With this accomodating .env file:
```auto
# Rocket.Chat version
# see:- https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/releases
RELEASE=5.0.5
# MongoDB endpoint (include ?replicaSet= parameter)
MONGO_URL= "mongodb://mongo-nnx:27017/rocketchat?replicaSet=rs0"
# MongoDB endpoint to the local database
MONGO_OPLOG_URL= "mongodb://mongo-nnx:27017/local"
# IP to bind the process to
BIND_IP= "127.0.0.1"
# URL used to access your Rocket.Chat instance
ROOT_URL= "https://chat.example.com"
# Port Rocket.Chat runs on (in-container)
PORT= "3000"
# Port on the host to bind to
HOST_PORT= "3003"
DOMAIN="chat.example.com"
### MongoDB configuration
# MongoDB version/image tag
MONGODB_RELEASE="5.0.6"
MONGODB_VERSION="5.0.6"
```
Now, mongo boots up and finds its database, but RC fails to connect:

```
It tries to connect to 127.0.0.1? Why would it do that?
I set all the urls correctly; or is it due to the repl issue?
I would use the new compose, but I do not know how to migrate from old to the new. The upgrade path is not clear (or documented).
Help please 🙂

Hi!
We did a Rocket.Lab about this a couple weeks ago:
[ ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DeBQsfe2rU)
**TLDR: with the change of the node connector for mongo, you need to change some some parameters for configuring it properly.**
If you read thru the [release notes of the 5.0.0 version](https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/releases/tag/5.0.0), you will see an important note:
If you’re using MongoDB in a Docker container, you might need to add `directConnection=true` to `MONGO_URL` and `MONGO_OPLOG_URL` environment variables. i.e.: `MONGO_URL=mongodb://mongo/rocketchat?replicaSet=rs0&directConnection=true`
Let me know if this helps.

Can you be more specific, please?
I am not IT Pro so I would like to know how to change my docker-compose.yml
Running in docker Rocketchat 4.8.1 + MongoDB 4.4.16
I have these lines inside my file.
```auto
environment:
- PORT=3000
- ROOT_URL=http://localhost:3000
- MONGO_URL=mongodb://mongo:27017/rocketchat
- MONGO_OPLOG_URL=mongodb://mongo:27017/local
- MAIL_URL=smtp://smtp.email
```
Can you please show me the correct code for both lines `MONGO_URL` and `MONGO_OPLOG_URL`
Thank you very much for your reply.

Hi!
This is about it:
```auto
environment:
- PORT=3000
- ROOT_URL=http://localhost:3000
- MONGO_URL=mongodb://mongo:27017/rocketchat?directConnection=true
- MONGO_OPLOG_URL=mongodb://mongo:27017/local?directConnection=true
- MAIL_URL=smtp://smtp.email
```
Also, you can use this compose.yml as a reference:
>
On this case, the env var MONGODB\_ADVERTISED\_HOSTNAME is the one providing the necessary configs to avoid this connection error.

Thank you for your reply.
I edited docker-compose.yml as you mentioned above
```auto
- MONGO_URL=mongodb://mongo:27017/rocketchat?directConnection=true
- MONGO_OPLOG_URL=mongodb://mongo:27017/local?directConnection=true
```
RocketChat 5.0.5 started in the latest version but there is another problem.
When I switch to any Room I see the error message:
**Something went wrong. Please reload the page or contact an administrator.**
How to fix please?
docker Rocketchat 5.0.5 + MongoDB 4.4.16
I had to restore from backup back to RC 4.8.1 + MongoDB 4.4.16
PS: I must use MongoDB 4.4 because my CPU is not supported by MongoDB 5.
Thank you for your answer.

Mongo 4.4 should be fine. Indeed Mongo 5 has some compatibility issues with some CPUs
Do you see any outstanding log in developer console?
Have you tried a hard refresh on the browser? Sometimes this can be cause by cache.
THanks!

That solved the issue completly. Thank you very much!

Just for info - Rocketchat 5.1.1 + MongoDB 4.4.16 - I can confirm that it seems to work fine.
I only added
