Ok, it’s 2AM and im about to through my computer out the window. To be clear im a complete noob who only knows enough to break things and i think i broke it…
In the process of upgrading my Unifi Cloud Controller, a step included a suggeted install of Mongodb. This install process has lead me down too many rabit trails and now i can’t even uninstall.
after following the community edition installation guide, reaching a point of major frustration, i now exist in a perpetual cycle of this:
ubuntu@ip-172-31-3-128:~$ sudo apt list --installed | grep mongo
