About OpenPower
- OpenPOWER Foundation
- University of Campinas - Unicamp Minicloud, that was before available, but now is closed
xet7, as maintainer of Wekan, got access to ppc64le at at University of Campinas - Unicamp Minicloud. Unicamp is member of OpenPOWER Foundation. At Minicloud OpenStack, xet7 created Ubuntu 20.10 VM, and at 2020-12-22 ported Wekan to ppc64le very similarly like previously for s390x.
Installing MongoDB on OpenPower Ubuntu 20.04 ppc64le
This Snap package https://snapcraft.io/juju-db , created by Canonical, has MongoDB for various CPU architectures . It is internal package for Canonical's Juju service https://jaas.ai . Snap repo at https://github.com/juju/juju-db-snap and copy at https://github.com/wekan/mongodb-snap

OLD INFO: About MongoDB for OpenPower
Working:
- Official MongoDB binaries for OpenPower are available as part of MongoDB Enterprise subscription.
Other options:
- There is no Community version of MongoDB binaries for OpenPower available, like there is for other CPUs like x64/arm64/s390x.
- xet7 did not yet get MongoDB successfully built from source for OpenPower.
- There are some unofficial MongoDB Docker images by random people, but they could be old versions of MongoDB, and there is no guarantee they don't have any malicious code.
- If sometime in the future some working database binaries become available, link to them will be added here.
- If sometime in the future support for other databases is added to Wekan, info about it could be added here, although adding support for other databases could be a lot of work.
