Hi, I just updated to RC 8.0.1 and had to upgrade my Mongodb. I am running Mongdb 8.0.18 and RC 8.0.1 In the workspace under deployment RC shows Mongodb 6.0.19 / wiredTiger (oplog Enabled) Is that correct? I do not have any instance of MongoDB 6.0.19 running anymore. Do I need to migrate the Database ? ---

You make no mention of your setup at all so makes diagnosis difficult. Always read the release notes BEFORE you upgrade.

Sorry for being a bit short with my explanation. I do run Rocketchat and MongoDB in Docker containers. I run the latest official Rocketchat image and the official mongdb 8.0 Image (not the Bitnami Image) I run 2 mongoDb instances in a replica set. After I upgrade both, Rocketchat AND the mongodb replica set, everything works just fine! I do not have an issue. The log shows that the MongoDB version 8.0.18 is detected. ```auto ------------------------------------------------+ | SERVER RUNNING | +-------------------------------------------------+ | | | Rocket.Chat Version: 8.0.1 | | NodeJS Version: 22.16.0 - x64 | | MongoDB Version: 8.0.18 | | MongoDB Engine: wiredTiger | | Platform: linux ``` ``` However, in Rocketchat under workspaces in the admin panel it shows this one: ``` ```auto Database Migration 318 (December 21, 2025 12:02 PM) MongoDB 6.0.19 / wiredTiger (oplog Enabled) ``` I was wondering if I need to do something in Rocketchat to let Rocketchat know that the Mongodb is now on Version 8 feature set. ---

I have to check when I’m Beach at work, but what has the license and user to do with my original question? I just want to know what I see is normal or if it requires any more attention. ---

If you knew the answers you wouldn’t be asking here would you? I ask for a specific reason. Also why I asked about history. I don’t work on guesswork. Just facts. As you are the one with issue, not me, you probably ought to answer those who may have a solution. Without that you become this. > **[Home - The XY Problem](https://xyproblem.info)** See “what to do about it”. ---

I’m sorry, your answer is 0 helpful. I don’t ask for advice how to fix an issue. I don’t know if I have an issue! I’m not attempting to do Y to for a fix which needs X. If I have an issue, I’ll do the proper things to fix it. But again, right now, I don’t even know if I have an issue. RC boot logs detect the right Mongdb Version, but in the workspace I see a different version. Is this normal or not? Everything else is just fine. If this is not normal, I’ll try to fix it myself,but I can’t find anything in the documentation which tells me if this is normal or not. This doesn’t mean it’s not in the documentation, I just couldn’t find it, if it is. ---

My answer is 100% accurate. You just don’t like it because it doesn’t give you an answer, and that is because I can’t becuase I don;t have enough information. As I said - I think I might know why you have the issue, and it may well be genuine, but you clearly don’t. However, as you haven’t provided the information I have asked for I can’t tell for certain so I am not going to randomly guess and give you wrong advice. I don’t work that way. Remember, I don’t work here. Just a volunteer helper so don’t shoot the messenger. My guess is you are on CE with a lot of users and probably upgraded from an older version, and that will explain the issue. But as you haven’t told us the whole setup as you were asked I am not going to hazard a guess at the problem and a fix. If I’m right then good luck - I hope you have backups. You may well need them soon. ---

Awesome, according to your message it’s not correct what I see. I’ll check into it. I run backups every 4h, happy to use one if I need to. ---

I didn’t say exactly that. You assume far too much. Facts matter. No idea why you won’t provide the info - unless you’re embarassed I guess. Without more facts I’ll leave you to chase ghosts. As I said, there _may_ be an issue, but there _may not_ and you can go and waste a lot of your own time hunting rather than mine. Provide the info and we can look properly. ---

As I said. Never, ever, assume……… I’d also be _very_ careful with your licence version and user numbers……. As you haven’t wanted to divulge that I know you think you are being smart (because most people are straight up and honest), but I can absolutely assure you that they know…… and at some point may do something about it like they have before. _ **FAFO** _ ---
