docs say this version should be supported but depricated? then it should nag me how to upgrade to 6 or 7 not make me lost in this doc..

Hey @florisvangeel , I can take this issue. The problem here is that Rocket.cat incorrectly nags the user about a supported but deprecated MongoDB version (5.x), causing confusion. According to the documentation, version 5.x should be marked as deprecated but not unsupported.

I’ll update the logic for Rocket.cat’s version validation to check for deprecated versions and provide helpful guidance (e.g., steps to upgrade to 6.x or 7.x) instead of issuing unsupported warnings. This will align Rocket.cat’s behavior with the documentation and improve user clarity.

I'll be grateful if you assign this to me.

No one assigns issues.

If you want to work on something ask in open.rocket.chat in the support channel before starting.

N.B. There are already issues around this IIRC.

I'll look more week & speak to Casals. Likely the team will handle this.

asking the team to check. Thanks for reporting

I don't have any problem with Rocket.cat nagging if you are using a deprecated version (even if we support it). We could reword the sentence, so the user understands that the Mongo version will be deprecated on the next major, but besides that I think the behavior is correct.
(we should not show a %s though)

We could reword the sentence,

Yup - it is terrible right now!

(we should not show a %s though)

Absolutely - that annoying bug has been hanging round like a bad smell for some time. Just looks unprofessional.

According to the documentation my mongo is deprecated but still working/supported.

~# mongod --version
db version v5.0.22
Build Info: {
    "version": "5.0.22",
        "target_arch": "x86_64"
    }
}

if there would be certain versions of 5.x not supported the docs should reflect this.
else if 5.x is depricated as the docs state rocket.cat should help me upgrade, not nag about it.
else the messages and link should be clear for the workspace maintainer to follow up.
Notice the link to go.rocket.chat/i/suppoted-versions doesn't give a status 200 anymore.
