Migration from 1.6 to 1.8 and 1.10

[kanteshsakri]

Hi All,

Looking for some help WRT the migration. We are on 1.6 with nodejs version on 8.9.3. Currently we use mongo-atlas (cloud DB) for the data persistence. Mongo-Atlas provides SRV protocol based URL to connect to the cluster, which we are not able to use with the current mongo client of Meteor 1.6. Does the 1.8 or 1.10 has the capability to connect to mongo atlas using the mongo+srv protocol?

Is the non srv connection no longer available?
You can generate the “old type” of URI in Atlas, select your DB and go to Connect:

In principle, you can check the version of MongoDB driver in your Meteor version and go for the appropriate URI type. 2.2.12 is the last version that suggests the older URI.
