[UPDATED: 12 Jan 2022 with MongoDB 5.0.5 binaries] There is no official support from MongoDB for Debian ARM 64 or Raspbian64 Linux OS (now known as Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit). You can, however, compile the MongoDB Community Edition from source. I did just that 🙂 It did, however, take three days and a burnt Raspberry Pi 4 to accomplish 🙁 I’ll provide a link to instructions to create the executables for mongod, mongos and mongo — as well as provide a few tips to successfully compile. Better and easier than that, I provide links to already compiled versions with instructions on how to install and use.
I recently decided to “check-in” on the status of Raspbian64, the 64 bit version of Raspberry Pi OS which is not yet released. I had been using Ubuntu Server 20.04 ARM 64-bit on a couple of Raspberry Pi 4s for various projects. One benefit of Ubuntu was official support for MongoDB. I was looking for a complete optimized Raspbian OS with GUI AND MongoDB. Searching around, I did not find what I wanted. I decided to try and create it.
