cannot install newer versions of mongo

[Stargate-a11y]

is there a reason why I cant install mongoDB 6,7,8???

it only works with 5

I also noticed that there is no recipe for mongo..

name: mongodb
recipe: mean
config:
  webroot: .
  database: mongo:5.0

and this isn't exactly a MEAN stack, its just nodejs and mongo you have to install the rest yourself

it would make more senses to call it nodejs recipe

A Lando recipe defines a local server environment for the respective stack or framework. If a MEAN stack only needs Mongo and Node on the server side, then that's the part Lando handles, leaving the development side up to the developer. There wouldn't be a Mongodb recipe since that's just a single service where recipes are a combination of services.

As to why more recent versions are not supported, it looks like the MEAN plugin is outdated. It has a dependency on the @lando/mongo package that needs to be updated. We could use the help if you're up to submitting a PR to update that.
