### Description

Please assist with my Docker Rocket Chat Upgrade from V4.8.2 to V5.0.3

Rocket Chat is working 100% in Docker with MongoDB 4.4.14 and RocketChat v4.8.2.

When changing the `docker-compose.yml` file to use `image: registry.rocket.chat/rocketchat/rocket.chat:5.0.3`, I get error’s connecting to the MongoDB.

The `MONGO_URL` is defined as environment in the docker-compose.yml file as `MONGO_URL=mongodb://mongo:27017/rocketchat` and is working with RocketChat 4.8.2.

Even with this environment set, it seems RocketChat is still looking for MongoDB at 127.0.0.1 when is is not there.

Docker Compose file and RockerChat Error Log added below under Additional Information

Found the Solution.

Added `directConnection=true` to `MONGO_URL` and `MONGO_OPLOG_URL` environment variables. i.e.:

```auto
      - MONGO_URL=mongodb://mongo:27017/rocketchat?replicaSet=rs0&directConnection=true
      - MONGO_OPLOG_URL=mongodb://mongo:27017/local?replicaSet=rs0&directConnection=true

```

Refference: [Release 5.0.0 · RocketChat/Rocket.Chat · GitHub](https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/releases/tag/5.0.0)
