update version of MongoDB Standalone
This guide will show you how to use KubeDB Ops-manager operator to update the version of MongoDB standalone.
Before You Begin
At first, you need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the
kubectlcommand-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster. If you do not already have a cluster, you can create one by using kind.Install
KubeDBProvisioner and Ops-manager operator in your cluster following the steps here.You should be familiar with the following
KubeDBconcepts:
To keep everything isolated, we are going to use a separate namespace called demo throughout this tutorial.
$ kubectl create ns demo
namespace/demo created
Note: YAML files used in this tutorial are stored in docs/examples/mongodb directory of kubedb/docs repository.
Prepare MongoDB Standalone Database
Now, we are going to deploy a MongoDB standalone database with version 3.6.8.
Deploy MongoDB standalone :
In this section, we are going to deploy a MongoDB standalone database. Then, in the next section we will update the version of the database using MongoDBOpsRequest CRD. Below is the YAML of the MongoDB CR that we are going to create,
apiVersion: kubedb.com/v1alpha2
kind: MongoDB
metadata:
name: mg-standalone
namespace: demo
spec:
version: "3.6.8-v1"
storageType: Durable
storage:
storageClassName: "standard"
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 1Gi
Let’s create the MongoDB CR we have shown above,
$ kubectl create -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2023.12.1-rc.1/docs/examples/mongodb/update-version/mg-standalone.yaml
mongodb.kubedb.com/mg-standalone created
Now, wait until mg-standalone created has status Ready. i.e,
$ kubectl get mg -n demo
NAME VERSION STATUS AGE
mg-standalone 3.6.8-v1 Ready 8m58s
We are now ready to apply the MongoDBOpsRequest CR to update this database.
update MongoDB Version
Here, we are going to update MongoDB standalone from 3.6.8 to 4.0.5.
Create MongoDBOpsRequest:
In order to update the standalone database, we have to create a MongoDBOpsRequest CR with your desired version that is supported by KubeDB. Below is the YAML of the MongoDBOpsRequest CR that we are going to create,
apiVersion: ops.kubedb.com/v1alpha1
kind: MongoDBOpsRequest
metadata:
name: mops-update
namespace: demo
spec:
type: UpdateVersion
databaseRef:
name: mg-standalone
updateVersion:
targetVersion: 4.0.5-v3
readinessCriteria:
oplogMaxLagSeconds: 20
objectsCountDiffPercentage: 10
timeout: 5m
apply: IfReady
Here,
spec.databaseRef.namespecifies that we are performing operation onmg-standaloneMongoDB database.spec.typespecifies that we are going to performUpdateVersionon our database.spec.updateVersion.targetVersionspecifies the expected version of the database4.0.5.- Have a look here on the respective sections to understand the
readinessCriteria,timeout&applyfields.
Let’s create the MongoDBOpsRequest CR we have shown above,
$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2023.12.1-rc.1/docs/examples/mongodb/update-version/mops-update-standalone.yaml
mongodbopsrequest.ops.kubedb.com/mops-update created
Verify MongoDB version updated successfully :
If everything goes well, KubeDB Ops-manager operator will update the image of MongoDB object and related StatefulSets and Pods.
Let’s wait for MongoDBOpsRequest to be Successful. Run the following command to watch MongoDBOpsRequest CR,
$ kubectl get mongodbopsrequest -n demo
Every 2.0s: kubectl get mongodbopsrequest -n demo
NAME TYPE STATUS AGE
mops-update UpdateVersion Successful 3m45s
We can see from the above output that the MongoDBOpsRequest has succeeded. If we describe the MongoDBOpsRequest we will get an overview of the steps that were followed to update the database.
$ kubectl describe mongodbopsrequest -n demo mops-update

Now, we are going to verify whether the MongoDB and the related StatefulSets their Pods have the new version image. Let’s check,
$ kubectl get mg -n demo mg-standalone -o=jsonpath='{.spec.version}{"\n"}'
4.0.5-v3
$ kubectl get sts -n demo mg-standalone -o=jsonpath='{.spec.template.spec.containers[0].image}{"\n"}'
mongo:4.0.5
$ kubectl get pods -n demo mg-standalone-0 -o=jsonpath='{.spec.containers[0].image}{"\n"}'
mongo:4.0.5
You can see from above, our MongoDB standalone database has been updated with the new version. So, the update process is successfully completed.
Cleaning Up
To clean up the Kubernetes resources created by this tutorial, run:
kubectl delete mg -n demo mg-standalone
kubectl delete mongodbopsrequest -n demo mops-update
