• If a replica set is used — contact Passwork technical support for proper updating and data preservation.
• If Passwork is installed on a virtual server, it is recommended to create a virtual snapshot of the OS before updating.

The instructions use switchable code blocks to separate commands according to operating system versions.

Preparation and removal of the outdated version

Creating backup

Create a directory:

shell

mkdir /backup

Create a backup:

shell

mongodump --out /backup/mongo-$(date +\%Y-\%m-\%d_\%H-\%M-\%S)

Removal

Stop the service:

shell

systemctl stop mongod.service

Move the configuration file:

shell

mv /etc/mongod.conf ./

Remove the database with configuration files:

shell

yum erase mongodb-org* -y

Remove the directory with log files:

shell

rm -r /var/log/mongodb

Remove MongoDB data files:

shell

rm -r /var/lib/mongo

Remove the outdated repository for MongoDB 4.x:

shell

rm -f /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-4.x.repo

Installation and backup restoration

Installation

Create a file to add the MongoDB repository to the yum package manager:

shell

nano /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-6.0.repo

Place the following content in the file:

OS 8

[mongodb-org-6.0]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/8/mongodb-org/6.0/x86_64/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-6.0.asc

OS 9

[mongodb-org-6.0]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/9/mongodb-org/6.0/x86_64/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-6.0.asc

Install the database and administration utilities:

shell

yum install mongodb-org -y

Start the mongod.service:

shell

systemctl start mongod.service

Enable service autostart:

shell

systemctl enable mongod.service

Check connection to the shell:

shell

mongosh mongodb://localhost:27017

Backup restoration

If the connection to the shell is successful, restore the databases from the backup:

shell

mongorestore --drop /backup/mongo-xxxx-xx-xx_xx-xx-xx

danger

If you made changes to the MongoDB configuration file (mongod.conf), you need to replace the new file with the old one:

shell

cp ./mongod.conf /etc/

Restart the mongod.service:

shell

systemctl restart mongod.service

Open Passwork to verify correct operation.
