Description

Hi, we are using an old server just for overleaf but with the new toolkit it doesn't work because mongodb 5.0+ requires a CPU with AVX support.

Is there any alternative to MongoDB 5.0+?

WARNING: MongoDB 5.0+ requires a CPU with AVX support, and your current system does not appear to have that!

Context

This works with sharelatex version 3.3.0 but not with versions 4+.

Any alternative to have a more updated version of sharelatex?

Technical Information

OS: Ubuntu Server 22.04
CPU: dual core Intel Xeon 3065

Steps to install overleaf in old servers

Install docker compose legacy and set sharelatex to version 3.3.0 because the toolkit not works.

Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Start by reviewing the toolkit's MongoDB version requirements and the documented ShareLaTeX 3.3.0 setup; completion would require a clearly supported alternative for older CPUs or explicit compatibility guidance for newer versions.
