Since version 5 MongoDB supports only processors with AVX instructions extensions.
If you try to run on old processor, then you'll get error like below:

/opt/bitnami/scripts/libos.sh: line 346:    58 Illegal instruction     (core dumped) "$@" > /dev/null 2>&1

So, the goal of the project is to provide the ability to run an application on generic amd64 architecture.

You can use it in Docker as:

docker pull harbor.flakybit.net/mongodb/server:latest
