Mongo 5+ on Apple M1 laptops via Docker

Hello @Michael_Townsend!

Would you by chance be interested in trying to run MongoDB 5.0 Natively on your M1 Mac?

I am sorry for any frustration this has all caused you, but I may have an acceptable work around for the time being.

The way to install 5.0 Natively without Docker on an M1 Mac:

  • brew tap mongodb/brew
  • brew install mongodb-community@5.0
  • brew services start mongodb-community

To check and verify that it is running:

  • brew services list

If you have you have any issues with this work around, please let me know. As I would be happy to help you situate this. However, if you must have MongoDB 5.0 within a Docker container for work requirements that’s is completely understandable. I am merely giving you another option to use MongoDB 5.0 on your M1 Mac while compatibility developments using Docker are sorted out.

I would also love to hear about your applications stack and use case(s) for MongoDB on your M1 Mac like my colleague Andrew would.

Anything else that we can help you with in the meantime, please let us know.

Regards,

Garrett
