Installing mongodb over Ubuntu 22.04

chaosmos · 2022-06-11T16:14:01.601Z

Hi folks! Ubuntu 22.04 has been out for almost 3 months now, when will we be able to install the official version of mongo without all sorts of hacks and tweaks?

I got mongodb 5.0.9 installed on ubuntu 22.05… but boy… it was a hassle.

First you have to remove the libssl1.1 dep from:


mongodb-org-mongos_5.0.9_amd64.deb

mongodb-org-server_5.0.9_amd64.deb

mongodb-org-shell_5.0.9_amd64.deb

My bash script (that’s added below) will open the ‘nano’ editor and offer you to edit the control file specifying the deps. Your are looking for a line like this (starting with “Depends” and containing a reference to “libssl1.1”):


Depends: libc6 (>= 2.29), libcurl4 (>= 7.16.2), libgcc-s1 (>= 4.2), liblzma5 (>= 5.1.1alpha+20110809), libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.1)

Remove the reference to libssl1.1 and save & quit. It should look like this:


Depends: libc6 (>= 2.29), libcurl4 (>= 7.16.2), libgcc-s1 (>= 4.2), liblzma5 (>= 5.1.1alpha+20110809)

The script will automagically repackage the files and generate you a new package with ‘-newpackage.deb’ attached to its name:


mongodb-org-mongos_5.0.9_amd64.deb-newpackage.deb

mongodb-org-server_5.0.9_amd64.deb-newpackage.deb

mongodb-org-shell_5.0.9_amd64.deb-newpackage.deb

Now put them in a folder and install them manually with dpkg:


sudo dpkg -i *.deb

After that run:


sudo apt install --no-install-recommends mongodb-org mongodb-org-database mongodb-org-tools mongodb-mongosh-shared-openssl3

Hint: You don’t need ‘mongodb-mongosh’ from the deps as it’s being replaced by ‘mongodb-mongosh-shared-openssl3’.

Afterwards I couldn’t start the mongod service:


Jun 11 18:14:11 systemd[1]: Started MongoDB Database Server.

Jun 11 18:14:11 systemd[48437]: mongod.service: Failed to determine user credentials: No such process

Jun 11 18:14:11 systemd[48437]: mongod.service: Failed at step USER spawning /usr/bin/mongod: No such process

Jun 11 18:14:11 systemd[1]: mongod.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=217/USER

Jun 11 18:14:11 systemd[1]: mongod.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Which was because of a missing user (after looking at ‘/etc/systemd/system/mongod.service’), so I added it:


sudo adduser mongodb

Edit, try, fail, repeat:


Jun 11 18:15:53 systemd[1]: Started MongoDB Database Server.

Jun 11 18:15:53 mongod[48504]: /usr/bin/mongod: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Jun 11 18:15:53 systemd[1]: mongod.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=127/n/a

Jun 11 18:15:53 systemd[1]: mongod.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Missing libcrypto from ssl 1.1…

I didn’t have the 3.0 on the system, fix that:


sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

Now search for the file:


sudo find / -type f -name libcrypto.so*

link it:


sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.3 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.3 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1

And we got the same error for ssl1.1…


Jun 11 18:23:59 mongod[48822]: /usr/bin/mongod: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Search, link, start…


sudo find / -type f -name libssl.so.*


sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.3 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1

And error (obviously - it’s 3.0, not 1.1…):


Jun 11 18:26:29 systemd[1]: Started MongoDB Database Server.

Jun 11 18:26:29 mongod[48845]: /usr/bin/mongod: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1: version `OPENSSL_1_1_0' not found (required by /usr/bin/mongod)

Jun 11 18:26:29 mongod[48845]: /usr/bin/mongod: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1: version `OPENSSL_1_1_0' not found (required by /usr/bin/mongod)

But didn’t I see a snap with 1.1 libs on the system when running the find commands? - Sure did!


$ sudo find / -type f -name libcrypto.so*

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.3

/snap/core20/1518/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1


$ sudo find / -type f -name libssl.so.*

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.3

/snap/core20/1518/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1

Let’s remove the previous link and they those…


$ sudo rm /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1

$ sudo ln -s /snap/core20/1518/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1

$ sudo ln -s /snap/core20/1518/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1

SUCCESS:

I needed two more things mongodb was complaining about in the logs.
YMMV!

Add log dir & file:

$ sudo mkdir /var/log/mongodb/
$ sudo touch /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log
$ sudo chown mongodb:mongodb /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log

Add db dir:

$ sudo mkdir /var/lib/mongodb
$ sudo chown mongodb:mongodb /var/lib/mongodb

Have a nice weekend!

Truc_Oto · 2022-06-11T23:01:41.407Z

Well, that is a hell of a hack to make it work. Thanks for the effort and the information, but I will wait for an official release

Christian_Moser · 2022-06-23T12:32:52.705Z

For those who only need the shell and some tools like mongodum/restore, you just have to install those two packages witch are included in the officiel mongo repo:

sudo apt install mongodb-mongosh-shared-openssl3 mongodb-org-tools

Riyas_Pullur · 2022-06-29T17:46:51.490Z

yes its correctly worked I search lot of time to solve this problem.

Maksim_Makarov · 2022-07-17T19:10:44.818Z

Any updates? Almost 3 months from Ubuntu 22.04 release…

David_Berkman · 2022-07-23T00:14:31.874Z

We found this really annoying but solved the problem by witching to AWS DocumentDB. Now everything works again under 22.04, we save some money by handing off the whole replication problem to AWS, and our searches are faster to boot. If the real MongoDB had gotten its act together sooner we would never have known.

CESAR_SANTOS · 2022-07-28T07:55:28.029Z

This doesn’t worked for me, I have installed libssl3 but doesn’t work with libssl1.1.
I already have 3 days finding a solution but nothing

Geoffrey_Mungai · 2022-07-28T11:07:15.440Z

Download the libssl1.1 package from https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/20.04/ubuntu-main-amd64/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb.html

and install it using gdebi or dpkg. Then proceed installing mondodb using sudo apg-get install

Pini_Usha · 2022-07-31T12:39:52.882Z

Tried everything but no luck .Feel like the Mongo team does not want to fix it as the CE is a competitor to their Atlas … Any ideas for alternatives?

Scott_Egbert · 2022-08-02T21:07:43.369Z

Do we have an official release yet?

Truc_Oto · 2022-08-02T21:20:15.672Z

Are we there yet? Sadly not…

Anwar_Bey · 2022-08-03T23:16:51.386Z

Hi, any updates? about this issue when is the release expexted?

pini_usha1 · 2022-08-04T13:15:35.449Z

It is working now. My mistake was tring to install from the “software install” .
first downlod the lib from here
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
next open terminal and to to the download lib location then
sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb

thanks to @Geoffrey_Mungai

coders_code · 2022-08-07T17:38:12.382Z

for me below was worked.

echo “deb Index of /ubuntu focal-security main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/focal-security.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libssl1.1

Vijay_Dinesh · 2022-08-11T13:30:07.160Z

Finally! Below Solutions worked for me

It is because of the missing dependencies mongodb not installing on ubuntu 22.04.
The main reason is the missing of libssl1.1 dependency. So we need to install it seperately.

1.sudo apt install dirmngr gnupg apt-transport-https ca-certificates software-properties-common

2.echo "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu impish-security main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/impish-security.list

3.Go to root user sudo -i then paste this wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb

4.apt update

5.apt install libssl1.1

6.wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-5.0.asc | sudo apt-key add -

7.echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu focal/mongodb-org/5.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-5.0.list

8.apt update

9.apt install -y mongodb-org

The latest version of mongodb will be installed
To start it

1.systemctl enable mongod

2.systemctl start mongod

In case MongoDB doesn’t start run the command below to reload.

systemctl daemon-reload

Shivam_Purohit · 2022-08-13T03:52:32.888Z

I have been using ubuntu in 20.04 and now I want to use it in 22.04 but the actual support of mongodb for Ubuntu 22.04 isn’t released yet. Any reason why the delay of the release for Ubuntu 22.04.

Andrew_Anthony_Giangrant · 2022-08-17T13:41:03.942Z

I was able to easily install mongosh on Linux Mint 21. It should be the same instructions for Ubuntu 22.04:

sudo curl https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-6.0.asc | gpg --dearmor >/usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-key.gpg

echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu jammy/mongodb-org/6.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-6.0.list

sudo apt update

sudo apt install mongodb-mongosh

Paras_Parmar · 2022-09-04T08:26:19.772Z

Nice workaround!! I’ll take it. Sounds like you’ve understood the impacts of the replaced dependencies.
