Upgrade from 6.13.1 to 7.0.9 Fails

[LeeThompson]

Description:

I'm preparing for our migration from RocketChat 6.13.1 to 7.x. This is problematic since the current machine does not support the AVX instruction set which is required for MongoDB 5.x+. I have a new host for it now and I have a recent (last week) copy of the MongoDB database so I can do a dry run of the migration. That part of the process has been going okay until now.

1. I upgraded MongoDB from 4.4 to 7.0.18 (not in one jump obviously)
2. RocketChat 6.13.1 works fine.
3. MongoDB 7 is set to use the 7.0 Feature Set and works properly. Oplog is enabled.

When I make a new RocketChat 7 container (7.0.9) and start it, I get the following error which is so vague it's useless to me.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Update MongoDB to 7.0.18
2. Attempt to update RocketChat from 6.13.1 to 7.0.9

Expected behavior:

I expected it to work.

Actual behavior:

Already covered

Update: This also occurs with MongoDB 5.0.30 (fresh from a 4.4.6 upgrade).

This appears to be due to a failure of documenting that RocketChat 7 no longer supports docker --link.

If anyone ends up with this problem:

1. Put RocketChat and Mongo on the same docker network. It can still be a bridge type (if it is, be sure it allows for intra-container communications.) (RocketChat 6.13.1 and earlier will support Mongo just being linked just fine.)
2. RocketChat's MongoDB URIs need to use the name of the Mongo container. If you called the Mongo container "MongoDB" then it needs to be mongodb://MongoDB:27017/rocketchat; if you called it "MongoDatabase" then mongodb://MongoDatabase:27017/rocketchat.

I hope this saves someone else hours of work trying to figure this out from a very vague error message. (Worse, in Mongo's log I could see RocketChat 7 actually connecting initially and then failing for some reason. I still don't know why.)

Additional Information

• Creating Docker Bridge Networks
• Docker Links Are A Legacy Feature (still working as of this writing; unless an application is no longer allowing it)
