Deployment and system requirements

Hiya, I may be missing something obvious but I can’t find any information on system requirements for deploying a Meteor 3 app to a remote server? In particular required MongoDB version, but generally anything up to date.
The Meteor 3 docs point to the Meteor 2 deployment docs, which in turn don’t give much information.
My app is currently running on a Digital Ocean droplet via Phusion Passenger, but their excellent tutorial’s pretty old now.

We are still running some custom servers with mongodb 5.x and Meteor 3.x and it works although we mostly use basic operators, nothing fancy.

We use mup to deploy and it should work with DO quite well, too. If you want to be sure, use the mongo version that is shipped with your Meteor release, which you can investigate via meteor mongo command

Oh thank you! I gave up on Meteor Up years ago because at that time, it didn’t work, and I couldn’t get any help with it, so assumed it was abandoned. And I worked out my own solution via Phusion Passenger, but it’s a bit of a struggle to get into it for Meteor 3 after a couple of years enforced neglect of my app’s infrastructure. It’s great to hear that MUP is a viable option again.

Its currently not actively maintained as it used to be but it’s pretty stable and you should give it a try and post here if you encounter any errors.
