ARM compatibility

[teddyfresco]

Hi; i've tried many times installing it using docker compose on raspberry pi 5, but exits with code 255, and on terminal:
robinson-mongo | {"t":{"$date":"2025-11-30T02:02:15.219+00:00"},"s":"I", "c":"WTCHKPT", "id":22430, "ctx":"Checkpointer","msg":"WiredTiger message","attr":{"message":{"ts_sec":1764468135,"ts_usec":219151,"thread":"1:0x7fff1d28e480","session_name":"WT_SESSION.checkpoint","category":"WT_VERB_CHECKPOINT_PROGRESS","log_id":1000000,"category_id":7,"verbose_level":"INFO","verbose_level_id":0,"msg":"saving checkpoint snapshot min: 3, snapshot max: 3 snapshot count: 0, oldest timestamp: (0, 0) , meta checkpoint timestamp: (0, 0) base write gen: 53"}}}

Maybe it doesn't work on ARM platforms?

Hi there, MongoDB support on ARM platforms is tricky. There are a few unofficial containers that claim some support.

You could try bitnami/mongodb, you'd need to swap out the mongodb section of your docker-compose.yml file as follows;

  mongodb:
    image: bitnami/mongodb:latest
    container_name: mongodb
    ports:
      - "27017:27017"
    environment:
      - MONGODB_ROOT_USER: robinson
      - MONGODB_ROOT_PASSWORD: robinson123
      - MONGODB_DATABASE: robinson
    volumes:
      - robinson-data:/bitnami/mongodb

If it does work, please let me know and I'll add it to the documentation. Thanks
