Solved `mongo` binary appears to be missing from the Cloudron base image 4.0.0

[ChristopherMag]

Steps to reproduce:

• Open web terminal for app that uses MongoDB
  • Example Wekan
• Click the MongoDB button
  • This will insert the command mongo -u "${CLOUDRON_MONGODB_USERNAME}" -p "${CLOUDRON_MONGODB_PASSWORD}" ${CLOUDRON_MONGODB_HOST}:${CLOUDRON_MONGODB_PORT}/${CLOUDRON_MONGODB_DATABASE} into the terminal
• Press Enter
• This results in the error message bash: mongo: command not found

This occurs with the latest version of wekan which has the new Cloudron base image to 4.0.0.

I am guessing that the mongo binary is not present in the 4.0.0 base image.

I have confirmed that the first version of Paperless-NGX with the 4.0.0 base image is also missing the mongo binary.

Currently this is causing cron jobs which use this binary to now fail when they would have succeeded in the past.

Since base image 4.0, MongoDB 6 is in use. Instead of using the binary (mongo) like before, you should be able to use mongosh. Please take a look at the documentation.

@subven Gotcha, working on using mongosh instead now.

If this is now the correct way to access Mongo then the MongoDB button in the webterminal needs to be updated to use that as currently when clicked it still tries to use mongo.

@ChristopherMag said in `mongo` binary appears to be missing from the Cloudron base image 4.0.0:

to access Mongo then the MongoDB button in the webterminal needs to be updated

Thats a fair point and should be added to the todo list ^^

@subven Thanks for the help, using mongosh with everything else the same worked perfectly, cron jobs updated and things working as expected again aside from the MongoDB button not doing what it should .

@nebulon Do I need to make a second post or add this somewhere else to get the MongoDB button in the web terminal fixed?

@ChristopherMag I will fix it up now for the next release. We were kinda aware of this already, but wanted the last release out sooner rather than later.
