Following up on dominique's question, the documentation does need to be updated for the docker and mongo install, which still reference the now depreciated CentOS 7 and Mongo 4.4.

I'm sure many better methods have been discovered in the last few years. For example, I've experimented with including a mongo 6 container in my docker-compose.yml file which has worked very well for me for some time. I'm sure the dev and support teams have found some better ways to deploy since then that could be incorporated into the docs!

During my recent experience, I encountered the following:
while setting up an environment on Ubuntu 22.04, I opted to use MongoDB 6 (instead of the recommended 4.4 or 7), alongside a different version of Docker. Based on input from other admins, I also considered running MongoDB embedded within Docker.

Given these variations, I believe it’s crucial for us, as a community, to regularly discuss and validate the evolution of installation procedures.

As the HCL team mentioned, the functionality of these components relies on constantly evolving technologies.
Staying up-to-date is essential, and the best way to achieve this is through collective contribution and knowledge sharing.
