Is this still maintained and used? Alternatives?

[sezanzeb]

The PR for 4.2 was merged within two days: #176

The PR for 4.4 has been open for almost a month: #235

Is this repo obsolete or not really used anymore or something? What are people using nowadays to get up to date mongodbs in their ansible config?

I am using this repo but I have the same thought than you.
I created a PR, no answer ...
Now I need this feature which is not merged ...

cc @UnderGreen would you be interested in additional maintainers of this package? I would volunteer.

Slowly.. Once in 3-4 months, I take a look at issues/PRs. Too busy on the main job.
@Perni1984 I don't see anything in your profile about Ansible. I don't want to left this role to the first person asking it to be honest.

[Perni1984]

@UnderGreen no problem, I just wanted to offer my help supporting you either myself or creating a team of maintainers. As a matter of fact I am working with Ansible for ~ 12 month, but have several years experience with Puppet, Chef and setting up scalable multi-server clustered environments before the well known devops tools got popular. Other than that, I am sure that there are people out there that have deeper knowledge of Ansible than me.

Workaround for people needing some PRs merged sooner:
Just create a fork of the repo and add the relevant PRs to your own fork (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6022302/how-to-apply-unmerged-upstream-pull-requests-from-other-forks-into-my-fork).

In your requirements.yml file you can then specify your own forked repo and the relevant branch like this:

---

roles:
  - name: undergreen.mongodb
    src: https://github.com/pcode-at/ansible-role-mongodb <--- path to your forked repo
    version: master

I will take a look asap your PR. It didn't go through testing for some reason.

[UnderGreen]

Fixed lately a lot of issues and add multiple enhancements.

I believe mongodb collection is supposed to replace this role in future, but I will continue support this one if there is still any interest from users.

^ Using official modules, and a future proof configuration. Compatible with most versions, only for EL 8-like systems tho.
