This has actually prevented me from upgrading it because my homelab hardware was one generation too old for AVX instructions, which are required now. And now hardware is going to be priced out of range for average people.

Anyway I just said fuck it and I’m using the ISP router. I’ve too much other bullshit to deal with. Fuck MongoDB

Maybe FerretDB will work.

FerretDB allows you to use MongoDB drivers seamlessly with PostgreSQL as the database backend. Use all tools, drivers, UIs, and the same query language and stay open-source.
